Running Peppermint's Ice on vanilla Ubuntu 16.04?

Question

I'm wondering how easy it would be to get Ice (Peppermint's SSB Manager) running on Ubuntu 16.04? There are several websites (Evernote, Airdroid, Wunderlist) that run best from Chromium (and lack a good native client), but it would be even better if I could manage these with an app.

I found this approach, which seems risky. Is there a way to implement this approach, without the negative consequences?

Alternatively, I downloaded Ice from github, but not sure what I have to do to run it--the README doesn't have much instruction.

(Note: I also found this workaround, but the info there seems outdated, since the ~/WebApps doesn't exist in 16.04; and having used Ice, the latter is more intuitive and user-friendly for managing these sites)

As far as I can tell you just need to merge the usr directory from the repo with your own, I just did sudo cp -dr usr/* /usr/ and it seems to be working fine.

Hmm, you mean install Peppermint to a different partition, and then merging the directory? – Khashir Feb 21 '17 at 02:39
No, cloning the Ice repo, theres a /usr/ directory in there – GeneralBison Feb 21 '17 at 02:40
Ah, you mean git! Sorry, I'm a fairly new, let me give that a shot. – Khashir Feb 21 '17 at 02:41
