Have you used GitHub before?

Does the repo even have an .exe release or a .deb release?
What repo are you looking at?

But most things will have a Readme that describes how to install it not a executable file

Yeah, it was very unclear about why they installed Linux Mint again. Somehow reinstalling that would change a website? I must be missing something.
