The Viam app's machine setup page no longer offers the AppImage manual install option for 64-bit Linux (aarch64, x86_64) — only viam-agent is presented (viamrobotics/app#12758). The docs should reflect this by making viam-agent the primary recommendation.

Source changes

  • viamrobotics/app#12758: Remove AppImage install option for 64-bit Linux machine setup

Docs changes

  • docs/reference/viam-server.md: Reorder the nested install-method tabs within both "Linux (Aarch64)" and "Linux (x86_64)" to put "Install using viam-agent (recommended)" first and "Install manually" second. Previously the manual AppImage method was listed first.
  • docs/monitor/common-errors.md: Clarify that the "AppImages require FUSE to run" error applies specifically to the manual AppImage install method, and note that users who install with viam-agent (the recommended method) should not encounter this error.

How I found these

  • Xref lookup: maintenance.md staleness table for app/ui/src/routes/ setup pages
  • Grep matches: 8 pages reference AppImage; 2 pages updated (the ones with incorrect recommendation priority)

The Viam app's machine setup page no longer offers the AppImage manual
install option for 64-bit Linux (aarch64, x86_64). Only viam-agent is
presented. Reorder the CLI install tabs on viam-server.md to match,
putting "Install using viam-agent (recommended)" first. Also clarify
in common-errors.md that the FUSE requirement applies specifically to
the manual AppImage install, not to viam-agent installs.
