Download MT Manager, install missing dependencies and add it to the path

First of all, create the directory in which to install MT Manager:

sudo mkdir /opt/mtmanager

Then, download the linux-x64 version of the MT software suite from the Xsens website in your Downloads directory. Because of permissions, it cannot be directly downloaded in the newly created directory. Once this is done, untar the software suite archive:

sudo tar xzf ~/Downloads/MT_Software_Suite_linux-x64_<version+rest-of-the-file-name>.tar.gz -C ~/Downloads/ --strip-components=1

You will then need to untar MT Manager into the directory you created previously:

sudo tar xzf ~/Downloads/mtmanager_linux-x64_<version+rest-of-the-file-name>.tar.gz -C /opt/mtmanager/ --strip-components=1

Most of the dependencies needed are included with the binaries of MT Manager. However, a few dependencies are missing. Install them with the following commands:

wget -O ~/Downloads/libicu60_60.2-3ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu60_60.2-3ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ~/Downloads/libicu60_60.2-3ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdouble-conversion.so.3 /opt/mtmanager/linux-x64/bin/libdouble-conversion.so.1

Finally, create a symlink to be able to run MT Manager from the terminal:

sudo ln -s /opt/mtmanager/linux-x64/bin/mtmanager /usr/local/bin/mtmanager
