Hi, very unexpected error message...

- architecture ?
- distribution ?
- by any chance, are you trying to install the 64bit binaries on 
a 32 bit system ?
- does it work when not installing as sudo (target path will be 
~\bin\)
- did you try to see if the search result for "ELF no found" help 
?, for example

otherwise in last resort you can download the zip file whose name 
doesn't contain the word "setup". It contains the binaries. You 
can then displace them to the right location. After movinf the 
files, the only difference with the setup is that you have to 
create the .desktop file by hand.
