I am trying to install top tracker provided by Toptal. I am getting this error

*sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/toptracker_1.6.2-6524_amd64.deb 
[sudo] password for user: 
Selecting previously unselected package toptracker.

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of toptracker:
 toptracker depends on libappindicator1; however:
  Package libappindicator1 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing package toptracker (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 toptracker*

when I tryed to install libappindicator1 then getting

sudo apt-get install libappindicator1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package libappindicator1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libappindicator1' has no installation candidate

Can anyone let me know how to fix this ?

Download libappindicator1

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/liba/libappindicator/libappindicator1_12.10.1+20.10.20200706.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb 

Download dependency required by libappindicator1

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/libd/libdbusmenu/libdbusmenu-gtk4_16.04.1+18.10.20180917-0ubuntu8_amd64.deb

Install both packages

sudo apt install  ./libappindicator1_12.10.1+20.10.20200706.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb ./libdbusmenu-gtk4_16.04.1+18.10.20180917-0ubuntu8_amd64.deb 

Install forticlient downloaded from https://www.fortinet.com/support/product-downloads

sudo apt install ./forticlient_vpn_7.4.0.1636_amd64.deb

*Downside: using XFCE, the Network-Manager conflicts and disappear: so to restore ethernet/wifi connections, you will need to use nmtui toll
