The following is a quick guide on how to manually download, extract and run Signal for Linux on a non-(deb)apt based distro (and includes a shell script that automates the entire process). This is for use when no suitable, native (re)package is available. It also includes some additional instructions on how to integrate with your desktop environment. Almost any recent distro (configured for desktop use) will likely have all the dependencies already installed—especially so if you already have any other Electron apps or a Chromium based browser installed, since they will require the same things.

Fetch, extract and launch

Switch to a directory you think is suitable for housing Signal (for example ~/opt)

mkdir -p ~/opt &amp;&amp; cd ~/opt

Fenced code blocks inside ordered and unordered lists

This is a numbered list.
I'm going to include a fenced code block as part of this bullet:

	if [ -n "$folder" ] && [ ! -d "$folder" ]; then

	// askForConfirmation uses Scanln to parse user input. A user must type in "yes" or "no" and
	// then press enter. It has fuzzy matching, so "y", "Y", "yes", "YES", and "Yes" all count as
	// confirmations. If the input is not recognized, it will ask again. The function does not return
