## Conty
This is an easy to use non-root container compressed into squashfs and packed
into a single executable that runs (or at least should run) on most Linux distros.
This is an easy to use unprivileged Linux container compressed into squashfs and packed
into a single executable that runs (or at least should run) on most Linux distros. It's designed to be as simple and user-friendly as possible.
You can use it to run any applications, including games (Vulkan and OpenGL).
Besides, due to bubblewrap, Conty also supports true filesystem sandboxing, so you can even use it to sandbox
your applications.
In other words, it's a portable Arch Linux distro packed into a single executable that can be used to run any applications. Conty combines benefits of
flatpak and AppImage.
Besides, due to bubblewrap, Conty also supports true filesystem sandboxing, so you can even use it to isolate applications.

## Requirements
The only requirements are **bash**, **fuse2**, **tar** and **coreutils**. And your /tmp directory
should allow binaries execution (which it does by default on most distros).
should allow files execution (which it does by default on most distros).
Besides, your Linux kernel should support unprivileged user namespaces. On some
Linux distros this feature is disabled by default and can be enabled with sysfs:
