Currently PixelViewer is built as portable package, you can just unzip the package and run PixelViewer executable directly without installing .NET Core runtime environment.

Some functions of PixelViewer depend on libgdiplus, you may need to install libgdiplus manually to let PixelViewer runs properly:

apt-get install libgdiplus

If you want to run PixelViewer on Ubuntu (also for other Linux distributions), please grant execution permission to PixelViewer first. If you want to create an entry on desktop, please follow the steps:

1. Create a file (name).desktop in ~/.local/share/applications. ex, ~/.local/share/applications/pixelviewer.desktop.
2. Open the .desktop file and put the following content:

[Desktop Entry]  
Name=PixelViewer  
Comment=  
Exec=(path to executable)
Icon=(path to AppIcon_128px.png in PixelViewer folder)
Terminal=false  
Type=Application

3. After saving the file, you should see the entry shown on desktop or application list.
