Installing a package on Linux absent .deb or configuration files

I'm trying to install a primarily Window-based package from github here.

They do offer a linux-specific download, but unpacking the tarball, I don't see any configure or make files that would allow me to build from source. Attempting to run the included .exe file also gives an error:

chris@chris-x1c6:~/Desktop/falcon-sql-client-4.1.0$ ./falcon-sql-client
./falcon-sql-client: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Documentation is similarly sparse. Any other thoughts on how to install this?

Edit:

As the package is apparently no longer maintained, and a deb file wasn't available, I installed the missing library:

sudo apt install libgconf2-4

Am able to launch the package successfully using ./falcon-sql-client now.

Thanks for the input, guys.
