When you unpack it, that already is the installation. It's not a source file, it's a binary precompiled proprietary blob.

These are the steps to install.

  1. Download it from https://popcorntime.sh/
  2. Extract it

  3. Now 2 ways to run it.

    • with terminal, cd to extracted folder and run ./Popcorn-Time

    • create a Popcorn-Time.desktop file with this text:

      [Desktop Entry]
Name = Popcorn-Time
Comment = Comment on the program
Exec = /home/<user>/<Folder>/Popcorn-Time-0.3.10-Linux-64/Popcorn-Time
Icon = /home/<user>/<Folder>/Popcorn-Time-0.3.10-Linux-64/src/app/images/icon.png
Terminal = false
Type = Application

      Replace <user> and <folder> with your username and the folder where PCT is.
