Answer 1

Well, I do not know if it might still help, but one efficient way to install Robomongo from tar.gz file is the following:

1. Go to https://robomongo.org/download to grab the tar.gz file,

2. After download,

   cd Downloads/*
   

   and then type in the terminal:

   $ sudo tar xzf robo3t-1.3.1-linux-x86_64-7419c406.tar.gz -C /opt/
   

3. Make sure your file has been unzipped in the /opt directory by checking:

   $ ls -lh /opt/
   

4. Next, install it by doing:

   $ sudo /opt/robo3t-1.3.1-linux-x86_64-7419c406/bin/robo3t
   

5. The installation wizard pops up and accept the terms and continue installation. Then Enjoy

NB: You will not see the robot3t icon in the start menu. So to start robot3t, always /opt/robo3t-1.3.1-linux-x86_64-7419c406/bin/robo3t to launch robo3T.

Hope it helps ;)
