   Name: XnViewMP-linux-x64.tgz   
   Size: 85,337,505 bytes (81 MiB)   
   SHA256: 25B3B0E6FAC8DC4EAFEB02BB44C8CE7431BB2217E0921D5BFD250ED60BB32E6B   
      
   is just a .tar.gz containing executable content, as a portable thing.   
      
      ./XnView      ( Size: 19 949 456 )   
      
   If you look inside the package, you'll find a "lib" folder which is   
   an attempt to package all the dependencies.   
      
   It's a QT5 package (not that this matters).
