I downloaded the zip file of an Android app on github and I'm trying to run it, but I get a dialog with this message

app-release-unsigned.apk is not signed. Please configure the signing information for the selected flavor using the Project Structure dialog.

I'm using Android Studio. What am I supposed to do?
