Since it requires a newer version of Python 3 than we can provide, I would suggest giving their AppImage a try instead.

[TauTsar]

OK. This will be my first time using AppImage. I'll give it a shot.
Thanks

You need to make the AppImage file executable--you can do this in Thunar by right-clicking it, then Properties/Permissions, and clicking the checkbox. Then you can launch it by clicking it, or use the terminal.
