User downloads https://github.com/Bitcoin-com/Wallet/releases/download/4.0.4/bitcoin-com-wallet-4.0.4-linux-x64.tar.gz user untars it, but there is only

.desktop 512x512.png Bitcoin.com chromedriver credits.html favicon.ico icudtl.dat lib locales minidump_stackwalk nacl_helper nacl_helper_bootstrap nacl_irt_x86_64.nexe natives_blob.bin nw_100_percent.pak nw_200_percent.pak nwjc payload pnacl resources.pak snapshot_blob.bin

there. No README. No INSTRUCTIONS. User does not know what to do next.

Apparently there are some instructions on https://www.bitcoin.com/guides/how-use-the-bitcoin-com-wallet (please mention that in an INSTRUCTIONS file) But that is not enough to get it running on Linux. There must be some shell command mentioned that will start it, if the user does not have the same desktop set up as the developers.

OK I found it. Note the big B. $ perl -nwle 's/Exec=//||next; s/b/B/; print;' .desktop|xargs ls -og -rwxr-xr-x 1 7842524 11-27 11:01 Bitcoin.com

$ ./Bitcoin.com
./Bitcoin.com: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-m2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
# aptitude install libgconf-2-4
$ ./Bitcoin.com

And indeed it finally starts. Please mention any such dependencies in an INSTRUCTIONS file.
