Can slic3r be used with SLA/resin 3d printers?

Hello, I read the manual which says SLA printers can use Slic3r, however the manual doesn't show a setup or configuration.
Any suggestions please?

Thank you.
I'm a bit confused, but can I use different 'slicer programs' for different 3D SLA printers?
Anycubic only uses Windows and Mac, nothing for Linux.
The prusa3d downloads has ORIGINAL PRUSA SL1 and ORIGINAL PRUSA CW1.

Well, tried PrusaSlicer, but it doesn't launch. I guess it's not made for LinuxMint or Anycubic?

Well, tried PrusaSlicer from AppImage and won't launch.
Here's my steps:
prusa3d/PrusaSlicer > Assets (down to middlish of page) > select PrusaSlicer-x.x.x-alpha4_linux-x64-YYYYMMDDmmhh.AppImage > Downloads directory > right click PrusaSlicer-x.x.x-alpha4_linux-x64-YYYYMMDDmmhh.AppImage > Properties > Permissions > tick Allow executing file as program > Close > double click AppImage.

AppImage won't launch. Error: Could not display "/home/linuxmint/Downloads/Pr...nux-x64-202002101524.AppImage". There is no application installed for AppImage application bundle files. Do you want to search for an application to open this file?

Strangely, the AppImage opened the first time without issue.
I walked through the welcome wizard, however the welcome wizard was irrelevant to my SLA 3D printer. I had set FDM extrusion to None, however the wizard then asked for extrusion widths. I entered 0 mm and finished the wizard.
The AppImage could no longer open, as it said something like, extruder widths were too small.
I deleted the AppImage, redownloaded and tried to open and the posted error occurred.
