    ## Opening the package
    Start by creating a target folder to unpack the Deb package.
    ```bash
    mkdir ~/WorkSpacesClient
    mv workspacesclient_amd64.deb ~/WorkSpacesClient
    ```
    Then unpack the Deb using ar and tar
    ```bash
    ar x workspacesclient_amd64.deb
    tar -xf control.tar.xz
    tar -xf data.tar.xzq
    ```
    Finally create a symlink to the executable and cleanup.I suggest creating the symlink in a folder that is part of your Path.
    ```bash
    ln -s WorkSpacesClient/opt/workspacesclient/workspacesclient workspaces
    rm control.tar.xz
    rm data.tar.xz
    ```

    ## Updating
    ```bash
    #!/bin/bash
    cd ~/bin
    rm -r WorkSpacesClient-old
    mv WorkSpacesClient WorkSpacesClient-old
    mkdir WorkSpacesClient
    cd WorkSpacesClient
    wget https://d3nt0h4h6pmmc4.cloudfront.net/workspacesclient_amd64.deb
