Tar.gz package already has Java included, you don’t have to install one. You also don’t need to install that library on Ubuntu. Tar.gz already has everything it needs. To run it first time i do it in cmd: go to Spark folder and run command: ./Spark (if Spark is not set as executable, then first run: chmod +x Spark). Once it is running you can pin it to the left panel (if using Unity) and then you can run it by pressing its icon in the panel.

The dropbox link for the icone download is not working, this outside has to be arranged, please
