oss-browser doesn't come with a pre-built package. But manual installation is simple. Download oss-browser from the release page: Extract the Zip archive:
unzip oss-browser-linux-x64.zip
Move the folder to a location:
sudo mv oss-browser-linux-x64/ /opt/
Create a desktop file:
vim ~/.local/share/applications/oss-browser.desktop
With the following content:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=OSS Browser
Comment=Ossbrowser is a graphical management tool developed by Alibaba Cloud. It provides features similar to those of Windows Explorer. Using ossbrowser, you can view, upload, download, and manage objects with ease.

Yes there is no official documentation from Alibaba Cloud for the installation guide for the OSS Browser at this time.
There are a few suggestions for your consideration.
