• Set the permissions to the current user sudo chown -R ${whoami}:${whoami} /opt/robo3t
• Download this image http://blog.robomongo.org/content/images/2016/01/enjoy.png and save to /opt/robo3t/bin/robo3t.png
• Make the binary executable sudo chmod +x /opt/robo3t/bin/robo3t
• Create a desktop file and copy in the contents below. Call it robo3t.desktop.
• Install this file using sudo desktop-file-install ~/Downloads/robo3t.desktop replacing ~/Downloads with the location you created the file

That should be all you need to go and run this program. If you receive errors you may need to:

• Make sure you have QT5.7 installed locally
• Remove two files from /opt/robo3t/lib
  • /opt/robo3t/lib/libstdc++.so.6
