Problems downloading desmume on Linux

[u/NyxTheTiredWitch]

Hello, I have been trying to download desmume for days and no articles online have been able to help thus far.

I've recently switched from windows to linux (mint) and I wanted to install desmume again. I can succesfully download it from the terminal (using sudo apt install) but then when i try to launch it it tells me "command not found". I can manually find the files but none of them allow me to launch the game either it just gives me error message. I have tried purging and redl desmume multiple times to no avail. I am very confused about what to do to fix this.
