I have downloaded and installed the steam-launcher package from the official website several times but whenever i try to "execute" the installed file (I'm new to Linux, don't know what to call it since there are apparently no executables) it responds with nothing. I've googled around for a bit and purghed the file a few times but still there's no window opening.

Is there another version i should install or is there something else I'm missing?

All help is appreciated

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Downloading the package in debian form
2. Installing the package
3. attempting to start the launcher
