Download the latest version of WebCopier for Linux and save it to your home folder.

The downloaded file should be named webcopier_linux.tar.gz, or webcopier_linux_reg.tar.gz.

Open up a terminal window and enter the following (replace yourusername with your actual user name):
tar -C /home/yourusername -xzvf webcopier_linux*.tar.gz

This command extracts the contents of the package to your home folder and places the files in /home/yourusername/webcopier directory.

Modify default desktop entry file webcopier.desktop included in the installation by opening it your preferred text editor, for example gedit:
gedit /home/yourusername/webcopier/webcopier.desktop

In the following lines replace yourusername with your actual user name:

Exec="/home/yourusername/webcopier/webcopier"
Icon=/home/yourusername/webcopier/icons/wc_linux_icon_64.png

Also, you can choose between different WebCopier icons by changing wc_linux_icon_64.png to any icon file name, located in /home/yourusername/webcopier/icons/ directory.

This creates a desktop shortcut to run WebCopier.

Feel free to drag it on to your panel or desktop to make it more convenient to access.
