Assuming you are using *Ubuntu (16.04 or 18.04) or Debian Stretch, try 
the following in a terminal session:

sudo apt install  git perl-tk libwww-perl

git clone https://github.com/PBrady43/Channel-Editor.git

cd Channel-Editor/

chmod +x chedit2.pl

Now you can run the Channel Editor at any time  by

./chedit2.pl <options>                        #where <options> are 
whatever you want.
