How to install wfview without building yourself on selected linux versions

We understand that downloading sources with git, selecting branches and building yourself may a bit daunting. In the future we may at some point start distributing packages and/or images like appimage, flatpack. snap.

Instructions how to use this w/o building yourself. We are using a precompiled version that has been tested on a few different versions of linux in alphabetical order. Note that all are click-click-next-next-finish installs.
