I downloaded Etcher in an attempt to install RetroPie. After unzipping, it gives me an AppImage, which I'm supposed to be able to run from anywhere. I changed the permissions

$ chmod a+x balena-etcher-electron-1.4.9-i386.AppImage

Then tried to run it from the command line. No good.

$ ./balena-etcher-electron-1.4.9-i386.AppImage 
./balena-etcher-electron-1.4.9-i386.AppImage: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Another search found a GitHub error for Etcher on Mint: https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/1490

In that thread, it suggests to download the balena-etcher-electron_1.4.9_i386.deb from the release page. I used the one from v1.4.9.

Installed that and everything seems to be okay.

Are you really still on a 32-bit machine? If not, then you should use the 64-bit AppImage. And be aware of https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/1305
