Notes:

Go to Citrix download site to download the correct version of ICA client
Note that I am running Ubuntu on a x86 platform. If your Ubuntu runs on ARM platform, you will need to download the ARM version. The clients require OpenMotif 2.2.x. I will explain how to get it later
I saved the installation package on my desktop. You can save it to another directory
Extract to a directory.
Open the directory which contains the extracted files. install.txt contains installation instructions
start a terminal to install the ICA client
navigate to the directory that contains the extracted files
run setupwfc to install. You don't have to be a privileged user to install. However you will need to use sudo command to install as a privileged user in order to enable desktop (PNAgent) integration.
follow the on screen instructions
Press enter to accept the default installation location
installation completed
Test ICA client
It didn't run. Why? Remember the openmotif requirement listed on the client download page? motif library is not included in the default installation. Let's install it next
search and install open motif libaray using Synaptic Package Manager
finished open motif installation. Let's launch ICA client again
I will show you how to use this client in a separate video
