I am trying to download Appium Desktop in Ubuntu 16 (I've just been using the terminal to run it so far).

I understand that for Ubuntu, I must download the source code release they have on git (Source Code tar.gz), as apposed to their .exe (windows) or .dmg (mac) releases. After downloading it and un-tarring it, I do not know how to "install" it. I tried reading the README.md, but cannot find the instruction. How to do this?

Many thanks in advance

1.2.0-beta.2 offers an AppImage for Linux - https://github.com/appium/appium-desktop/releases/

Download it, run chmod a+x on it, and then ./AppImage to execute it.
