Download .deb file from the github release page. Then install like this:

$ sudo dpkg -i dragonfly_xxx.deb
$ sudo apt install -f

Run:

$ dragonfly 

Dragonfly Navigator should now also be possible to find in the desktop application menu.

Download the .tar.gz package from the github release page. Then install like this:

Install the following dependencies: python3-pil adwaita-qt python3-pyqt5
$ tar xzf dragonfly_xxx.tar.gz

If dragonfly can not be found you may need to log out and in again, otherwise add ~/.local/bin to your path. Dragonfly Navigator should now also be possible to find in the desktop application menu.
