Cannot launch seamonkey?

I download the seamonkey-2.49.3.tar.bz2 in ubuntu 18.04, extract the files in ~/usr/ i open the ~/usr/seamonkey dir and run the command:
Code:
:~/usr/seamonkey$ ./seamonkey
bash: ./seamonkey: No such file or directory
That is the error.
I also created a desktop file:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=SeaMonkey
Comment=Launch seamonkey
Exec=/home/me/usr/seamonkey/seamonkey
Icon=/home/shams/me/usr/seamonkey/chrome/icons/default/default48.png
StartupNotify=true
Type=Application
Terminal=0
Categories=Network
but cannot launch the seamonkey and get the above error.

Maybe you must place it in a certain location, like /usr/local?
Is there a readme file? Read it!

You could install it from the distro repos. Then it would just work.
Code:
$ apt-get install seamonkey

Looks like Ubuntuzilla is the preferred way to get the latest seamonkey working.

https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/how...n-ubuntu-16-04

I don't know for sure though, because I don't run Ubuntu.

Code:
drwxr-xr-x

Because that is not my forte.
