Downloaded the TAR and dragged the binary to the desktop. Double-clicking did nothing.
Launching from terminal with ./networx gave the error: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Add the dependency: sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module
Now no error on launching NetWorx, but nothing happens.

I read somewhere that 32-bit apps need the 32-bit version of canberra so: sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module:i386
Again, running ./networx does nothing. The process exists, however. And double-clicking the file on the desktop also gives the same result: a zombie process without any interface appearing.

NetWorx requires the TopIcons GNOME extension to be installed as shown below. Once installed and rebooted, it should appear in the notification area.
