Download link for linux is actually a macOS .app? #18

Sorry if this is not the correct place to file this.

I'm trying to download the Linux binaries for Fiji from the Fiji website but the .zip actually contains a MacOS .app file.

I have tried multiple mirrors but always get the same result

Have I misunderstood something? I can't find any specific instructions on how to run the Fiji.app on Linux.

The folder name is Fiji.app because Fiji is a portable application, intended to be launchable cross-platform. There should be an ImageJ-linux64 executable inside though, which is what you should click to launch the program. :+1:
