The installation program requires FUSE to run.

sudo apt install libfuse2
```

Create the file structures in the installation directory:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/Documents/Omniverse/pkg
mkdir -p ~/Documents/Omniverse/data
mkdir -p ~/Documents/Omniverse/contents
mkdir -p ~/Documents/Omniverse/cache
```

Launch the application by either double-clicking it or via the terminal.
