Appimage

The upcoming KF6-based version of RKWard will be available in AppImage packaging, and development versions can already be downloaded from https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/education/rkward/master/. Download the package, set the executable bit, and it should run on most current distributions (it is advised to install R, separately).

The latest official release at the time of this writing (RKWard 0.7.5) is not yet available in AppImage packaging, however.
