Authy on Linux without snap

Authy on Linux without snap.md

(roughly following instructions from this comment chain: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/kkvpm3/comment/hl3asj5/)

1. Download authy-2.2.2-full.nupkg or newer. Extract it somewhere like your Documents folder.

   https://pkg.authy.com/authy/stable/2.2.2/win32/x64/authy-2.2.2-full.nupkg
   

2. Install electron with npm:

   npm i -D electron

3. Run authy manually to check it works:

   ~/node_modules/.bin/electron ~/Documents/authy-2.2.2-full/lib/net45/resources/app.asar

4. Copy the contents of authy.desktop (attached) into ~/.local/share/applications/authy.desktop, editing the paths as needed. Also save authy-logo.svg (attached) into ~/Documents/authy-2.2.2-full/.
5. Refresh: update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications; and you're done!

Note that this won't auto-update, so make sure to keep on top of updating by downloading the newest nupkg.
