Set up Franz for Ubuntu

setup.md

• Download Franz for your distribution from MeetFranz.com
• change into the same directory as the downloaded file, then sudo tar -xf Franz-linux-x64-0.9.10.tgz -C /opt/franz
• (optional) wget "https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/360/1*v86tTomtFZIdqzMNpvwIZw.png" -O franz-icon.png then sudo cp franz-icon.png /opt/franz
• (optional) sudo touch /usr/share/applications/franz.desktop then sudo vim /usr/share/applications/franz.desktop

paste the following lines into the file, then save the file:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Franz
Comment=
Exec=/opt/franz/Franz
Icon=/opt/franz/franz-icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Messaging,Internet

I found this great application from Youtube video that talks about cool applications in Linux.
Would be great a lot if there is a script file that ships with Franz that install itself to the system.

I installed via this method but I appear to be having a problem with restoring from the tray. When I close the app with the close window button. If i go to the tray and select "Show Franz" nothing happens. I can close the app from there, but I am unable to show it. Zorin OS 12.2

Deleting the directory under /opt does not uninstall the program.
Use:
sudo apt-get --purge remove franz

Thank you, for this.
