    1. Install some dependencies

      sudo apt-get install python-appdirs 
sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 
sudo apt-get install python-h5py

    2. Download the Linux source package here

    3. Extract the archive

      sudo unzip ~/Downloads/GenX-2.4.2-source.zip -d /opt

    4. Test the installation

      python /opt/genx/genx.py

      enter image description here

    5. Set the executable bit

      sudo chmod +x /opt/genx/genx.py

    6. Create a desktop file

      gedit ~/.local/share/applications/genx.desktop &

      and add the content below.

      [Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=GenX
Comment=GenX
Type=Application
Exec=/opt/genx/genx.py
Icon=/opt/genx/debian_build/genx_128x128.png 
Categories=
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true

    7. Save the file and close your editor

    8. Start GenX from Dash/GNOME Shell

    Maybe it is also possible to create a DEB papckage because we have a debian_build folder,
    but for me ... this method did not work.
