Install the rust toolchain:
https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
Get the source code from github:
https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_term

cargo run --release
Or if you just want to build
cargo build --release

Building rust applications usually is easy if they don't have local references
exectubale is in:
target/release/icy_term

In build/create_flatpak.sh is a script where I've tried to create a flatpak. 
But installing that is almost impossible - I tried it.

Creating a .deb is doable too.
"cargo install cargo-bundle"
And then use "cargo bundle --release"
will create a .deb file target/release/bundle/deb/icy_term_0.3.1_amd64.deb

But so far no one could install that. But my testgroup was n=1. So I don't
bother with building linux stuff anymore. It's not that this kind of
application attracts many users for testing stuff.

But I've tried to get something build for linux users.
