Hello, for which OS do you want to run Etcher on?

For Windows you can download “Etcher for Windows (x86|x64) (Installer)” from the Etcher home page. https://etcher.balena.io/ It’s an exe setup file.

I am using linux mint.the download went ok, the issue was, there is no where to execute the program, there is no ..run.. command
