Does anyone here use a special 3D navigation mouse in 3D Coat? Have you got it to work in Linux?

I do not know if I will get an answer but im posting this anyway. I am starting to move to Linux, am a Linux noob and started taking a course on it.  I just got 3D Coat up and running in Pop OS, I have this specialised 3D mouse (space pilot pro) which makes working 3D Coat, Zbrush or Blender a hell of a lot easier. Turns out they discontinued Linux support which is very annoying. I found a site on sourceforge where someone has taken controll of the drivers and is carrying on with development   https://spacenav.sourceforge.net/.  

I have downloaded the files and I cannot for the life of me work out how the hell to use it. There does not appear to be a main file which I can trigger. I just learned this morning what a Flatpack and what an AppImage is. If you have been able to do this I would be greatful if you could share how.
