What happens if you try to open it in the terminal? E.g.

cd ~/Downloads/flipper
./flipper

Can I create a shortcut instead of always having to go into the folder and type ./flipper?

hi, i managed to use flipper using @duarte-evocorp's command here: #1139

but it seems the effect was when i boot, after i login, i'm always welcomed by 'System Program Problem Detected'. is this usual? if yes, is there maybe a workaround to ignore such problem? if no, is there another way to install it without that warning message?

I'm using ubuntu 16. Thanks guys!

1. Move folder with flipper app somewhere, for example to your /opt:

   sudo mv ~/Downloads/flipper /opt/flipper

2. Create desktop file for flipper in your application folder:

   sudo nano /usr/share/applications/flipper.desktop

3. Put this content inside:

   [Desktop Entry]
   Name=Flipper
   Comment=Platform for debugging mobile apps on iOS and Android.
   Exec=/opt/flipper/flipper
   Terminal=false
   Type=Application
   Icon=/opt/flipper/resources/app/icon.png
   

4. Log out and login again to Ubuntu client, and open your applications

If you're looking for the icon for the manual install desktop entry. Here it is, just put it manually in the required directory.

I notice that this is the last version with linux version builded as app and not flipper-server. @kuchaguangjie
