Installation instructions:

Any Linux distribution

• Use the .AppImage if you want an all-in-one portable file that just works when you make it executable and start it.
• Same for the .zip; just extract it where you like and double-click the "peerviewer" file.
• If you use the AppImage or the .zip, you need to create your own shortcut on the desktop or in the start menu, if you want one.

Specific Linux distribution packages (deb/rpm)

• These have the advantage of adding a shortcut in "Start/Menu" - "Internet/Network" - "PeerViewer".
• To install the dependencies for the Debian/Ubuntu Linux .deb package, you may need to run or install something like: sudo apt install libgtk-3-0 libnotify4 libnss3 libxss1 libxtst6 xdg-utils libatspi2.0-0 libuuid1 libsecret-1-0 libsecret-common libnspr4
• To install the dependencies for the Redhat/Fedora/OpenSuse/CentOS .rpm package, you may need to run something like (untested): sudo yum install at-spi2-core gtk3 libnotify libuuid nss xdg-utils

Snap package

• The .snap package is untested as of yet but it should just work. If you're into snap, try it out and give some feedback!
