How to install Blockstack Browser on Ubuntu

How do I install Blockstack browser on Ubuntu?

I downloaded the shell script from https://blockstack.org/install and then ran ./Blockstack-for-Linux-v0.36.3.sh

I've looked and there is not much info on the subject.

I got the following message:

blockstack docker launcher commands:
  install-protocol-handler -> install a protocol handler for blockstack:// links
  remove-protocol-handler -> uninstall the protocol handler for blockstack:// links
  pull  -> fetch docker containers from quay
  start -> start the blockstack browser server
  stop  -> stop the blockstack browser server

To get started, use

 $  ./Blockstack-for-Linux.sh pull
 $  ./Blockstack-for-Linux.sh install-protocol-handler
 $  ./Blockstack-for-Linux.sh start

This *requires* Docker to run.

To remove the protocol handler (the only thing 'installed' when you run this launcher):

 $  ./Blockstack-for-Linux.sh remove-protocol-handler

And this will start the environment for running the Blockstack Browser

Note: the Docker containers mount your /home/<user>/.blockstack directory

Yes, Docker is installed on my machine.
