Linux Prerequisite Module:

We need the command certutil in order to write the Root CA Certificate for HandyBrowser (and Chrome) to use.

On Ubuntu:
sudo apt install libnss3-tools
will install the certutil command

Before running HandyBrowser the first time, make sure you have Docker installed and running [Note: you don't need a Docker account, simply just the Docker service so we can install the dependencies for your Handshake node]:

Docker Download: - https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/

TO RUN HandyBrowser::

Docker needs sudo out of the box. If you dont want to run this app with sudo ::

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Once done, restart your device. after that you can start the browser either by double clicking HandyBrowser.desktop in this folder, or ./HandyBrowser

ELSE RUN LIKE:::
sudo ./HandyBrowser

Why sudo? Docker needs sudo permissions to run. Tinfoil hat on: Within the HandyBrowser Application, node.js is locked down to only file:// protocol (ie: the navigation tray layout/UI) and NOT anything coming in from the web. Any browser content will not have any permissions to node.js.
