[Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version

I have been using the Windows version of the KX3 Utility but now that I have 
Linux Mint ‘Sylvia’  Cinnamon Desktop edition  18.3  64-bit installed as 
dual boot with Windows 7 I want to install the Linux version of the KX3 
Utility.  I downloaded KX3UtilityLINUX_1_16_6_25.tgz and extracted it to a 
Linux folder.  It has a Help and Kx3util Libs sub directories as well as a 
Kx3util executable file.  If I click on the executable file or attempt to 
launch it via a desktop shortcut, nothing happens, no errors or warnings.

I did read the "Minimum Operating System Requirements for Elecraft 
Utilities:  X86-based Linux: GTK+ 2.8 or later, glibc-2.4, libstdc++.so.6 
and cURL. 64-bit Linux requires 32-bit compatibility libraries" 
requirements, and I also read that my version of Linux is 64 bit but comes 
with the 32 bit libraries installed and is backward compatible with 32 bit 
programs.  The Help folder has nothing about installation that I saw, and a 
Google search on Kx3util and Linux was no help.

I'm sure I missed something so if someone could point me in the right 
direction I'd really like to get it installed.

tnx for the help.
