I am trying to install top tracker provided by Toptal. I am getting this error

*sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/toptracker_1.6.2-6524_amd64.deb 
[sudo] password for user:

when I tryed to install libappindicator1 then getting
sudo apt-get install libappindicator1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package libappindicator1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libappindicator1' has no installation candidate

Can anyone let me know how to fix this ?
