Description
The usefulness of this application is outstanding. The limitation to certain Linux distributions on the client side is a bit disheartening, as with any OS most users seeking support don't have much know-how when it comes to installation of software beyond "the norm".
Instead of requiring dependency installation separate from the client app, bundling everything into an AppImage would make it much simpler to walk an end user through downloading and running the client.

Research direction
No files, tests, or build entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the Linux client packaging and dependency configuration, then determine how the client is currently built and distributed. Done means producing an AppImage that bundles the required dependencies and can be downloaded and run on more Linux distributions.
