Install only AppImages

To install AppImages only, it is enough to use the -ia/install-appimage option.

am -ia {PROGRAM}
am -ia --user {PROGRAM}

All flags for the -i/install option can be used here as well.

am -ia --debug {PROGRAM}
am -ia --force-latest {PROGRAM}
am -ia --user --debug {PROGRAM}
am -ia --user --force-latest {PROGRAM}

Same for AppMan.

appman -ia {PROGRAM}
appman -ia --debug {PROGRAM}
appman -ia --force-latest {PROGRAM}

In this example, I run the script brave-appimage but running brave, that instead is the original upstream package.

In the video above, before proceeding I use the command am -q and am -q --appimages to show the difference between brave and brave-appimage in the lists.
