Hi
Did you look at the linux install instructions in the README.md
(Always a goot thing to look for in a tarball)?


git clone https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable.git
cd LightTable
bash linux_deps.sh
../deploy/LightTable

Since you have the tarball you should just need to run the last two
commands.

And you can see what the above script is doing;
https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable/blob/master/linux_deps.sh

Just tried it seems to work ok

It will not appear in the menu since you did not “install” it just unzipped. So navigate to the lighttable directory and click the lighttable program. Note it took a minute for it to start the first time

If you want it in the menu you will have to manually add it by right clicking menu icon and Edit Applications

If that does not work start from the command line and report errors
