Installing Signal chat on Linux

Installed Signal on the laptop.

How to install Signal on Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE): https://signal.org/download/linux/

Thoughts: I don't like when software vendors promote installing their software with a terminal/shell script. From a user experience perspective, I ought to be able to get Signal using the Software Manager app or a downloadable Debian package (.deb).
