The application is opensource and the alpha release for Linux is available as of now as an AppImage (tested in Ubuntu 19.04) at

Before you begin, you must have all the Geant4 datasets on your computer which are available at
https://geant4.web.cern.ch/support/download.

When the application is run for the first time, you mush check the "First time use" checkbox in the first dialog box that appears. Next, you must set the Geant4 dataset locations in the user interface that comes up and click update. If there are any errors in the folder paths, the output log will display them. This has to be done only once on a system as long as the datasets are not moved to a different location.
