Install using AppImage

Once you download, you will need to install FUSE on Ubuntu 22.04. Otherwise, you will get the following error:

dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2

AppImages require FUSE to run. 
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage 
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.
