software installation - Trying to install lightshot but there's no ./config or ./configure file or *.sh to intall the program

I want to install lightshot but acutally I am more interested in learning what the issue is of why when I have extracted the lightshot tar.gz file then from what I read all I need to do is find the ./config or ./configure or a script to run and install from there. Then people tell me to go to a readme file but there is one called readme.md but it is gibberish.



Here's what is inside the lightshot folder:



dialogs
lightscreen.pro
lightscreenwindow.h
README.md
updater
images
lightscreen.qrc
lightscreenwindow.ui
sounds
version.pri

LICENSE
lightscreenwindow.cpp
main.cpp
tools
widgets



So what am I missing? Why can't I install?



Also, being a newbie, can I ask why sometimes ./config and why ./configure?
