I'm trying to install litecoin on my ubuntu 12.04 machine.

I downloaded the Litecoin-Qt from http://litecoin.org/ and extracted it to ~/

Then based on the README, I did the following:

oshirowanen@desktop:~/litecoin/bin/64$ ./litecoin-qt

This runs Litecoin, but it does not install it, i.e. when I click the super key on the keyboard to bring up the unity navigation and type in Litecoin, it is not found as an installed application on my computer.

So my question is, how do I install litecoin?
