If you want to install the Reliance Ubuntu software, you need to use a Windows / Mac pc to get into the USB drive section of the dongle and copy the Linux folder from there. Unfortunately, that drive does not show up in Ubuntu nor does the software auto run.
Otherwise you can download the file from here.
Unzip the folder , go inside the folder and do the following
cd Linux
chmod +x *
sudo ./install.sh
Once installed, run the application from dash.
