How to run this: Unknown #381
Description
Is there a way to install and run this in any system?
This is unknown, as there is no information on the README, except for general information on how to use a browser.
I would gladly add documentation about how to obtain, install and run this package, once I get it.

I managed to run this program on Zorin (Linux + DEB-package-based + GTK widgets) and PorteuX MATE (Linux + GTK widgets), so I can share some tips.
The DEB package for Webapp Manager is available from linuxmint.com, you can select the latest version and download the file ending with .deb.
By inspecting it with
dpkg -I webapp-manager*.deb, we can see that it officially depends on these packages:These should all be automatically downloaded and installed on DEB-based distros, so they're not an issue.
However, this package also has other dependencies not listed here.
One is
xapp-symbolic-icons, without which no icons are shown.There's also this issue about the application lagging without
python3-gi-cairo....And there might be some more. Keep it in mind if any bugs occur.
Installation on Zorin
On Zorin, I just downloaded the DEB file linked above, double-clicked it, then clicked Install, waited for the installation to complete. Then I also installed the hidden dependencies:
Here's Webapp Manager running on Zorin, including icons and translations:
