Install SideQuest on Ubuntu

I'm new to Linux and I'm currently using Ubuntu 22.04. And I'm trying to install SideQuest but no success, is there a documentation or instructions on how to install it?

Hey!

We have limited support options available for Linux, since there are so many distributions and sometimes additional software and configuration is needed.

Normally you can just extract the tarball and run the ./sidequest or ./sidequestlite depending on which version you have. The app is based on electron, and is open source so Linux users can also compile the app from source at https://github.com/SideQuestVR/SideQuest

I hope that helps!

I tried to do all kind of stuffs:

Runned from terminal
Checked chmod permissions
Runned with click on icon
Even updated the Nvidia driver for last.

Nothing works. When I run from my Ubuntu, it opens a gear icon on sidebar, I click it and nothing happen.

Now I will search how to compile and run from the repo, but if anyone knows how to solve my problem it would be great!

Thank you all.
