Description

When you download the linux installer (currently called standalone), then try to run it, you get the error "no application installed... do you want to search for an application to open this file"?

The instructions should tell you to set the execute permission thusly (or in bash):

Then you can run it and it installs.

Alternatively, find a way to distrubute the app with execute permission set?

The install instructions should be on the web (skycoin.net) next to the downloads, or as a second download next to the download for the exe.
