Download failed - missing files?

• Oct 9, 2024 - 16:21

I previously received a demonstration version of MuseScore. This was wiped out by a recent update of Ubuntu Linux software.
I recently tried to download MuseScore and received two files in my download folder:
MuseScore-Studio-4.4.2.242570931-x86_64.AppImage and
MuseScore-Studio-4.4.1.242490810-x86_64.Appimage
There was a MuseScore3 Development folder in my Documents folder. This contains a number of empty folders. The subfolder Score contains two or three small files that I wrote on the demonstration version.
There doesn't appear to be a way to make MuseScore open, no obvious button or text file of instructions.
Help to complete set-up would be much appreciated.

I don't know if it will help you, this is how I proceed:
I download the file for Linux, right-click, and in the Properties/Permissions tab I put a check mark on 'run as program'.

Thank you, Soichi. I tried setting the two downloaded files to 'run as program' but unfortunately no effect.
