Since I use Ubuntu MATE I downloaded the file with the .deb extension.
Find the installation file and double-click it to let your Package installer install the program. I use GDebi to install .deb files. (sudo apt install gdebi) Click the Install Package button to start the installation.
Enter your password and click the Authenticate button.
Wait until you see the message Status: Same version is already installed before you close the Package Installer.
If you don't see the program in your menu after you reboot your system then open your Main Menu editor. Select a category on the left (I selected Graphics) and then click the +New Item on the right. Enter the following information:
Type: Application
Name: Unsplash Wallpapers
Command: "/opt/Unsplash Wallpapers/unsplash-wallpapers" %U
Comment: Unsplash cross-platform desktop application built with Electron and React
Icon location: usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/unsplash-wallpapers
Click the Ok button and then Close the Main Menu dialog box.

You should now see Unsplash Wallpapers in the Graphics menu or the menu you selected. Click on the icon to start the program.
You should see an icon in the system tray. If you click on the icon it will display the name of the program.
Clicking on the program name will open its menu.
You can click the double-arrows in the middle to cycle through photos. You can click the Set as Wallpaper to make the preview image your wallpaper on your desktop.
You can click on the Categories button in the upper right corner to display many topics.
You can click on the Gear icon to display the Settings menu.
You can select to Run at startup, select how often to Update your images, and select a Light or Dark Theme.
Once you find an image you like, click the Set as Wallpaper button to immediately set it as your background image on your computer.
It's that easy.
Click the counter-clockwise arrow will display a list of your wallpapers and it will update your image list. You can click on an image to change the active wallpaper.
This app is not created by the creators of the Unsplash website, but it still is a great wallpaper changer.
