for tmm simply get the latest linux version from the tmm website and extract the tar.gz file into a folder. call this folder however you like and place it in your home directory.
now you can simply right click on tmm.jar and select open with Oracle Java 8 Runtime. now you can use the app like you did in windows.
to add tmm to your launcher to avoid doing the whole right click thing above, follow this guide:

1) I been having issues getting this to work on Linux Mint v18.2 I explain below why I want to use Linux Mint. Worked fine on Ubuntu v17.10 after I ran a shell script that I talk about more below also. I got O
penjdk 8 installed by running .....
Code:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
2) I then manually went and got mediainfo v0.7.99 from the official site as it's up to date and installed it no problem.
3) Next I made a folder simply named TMM in my Home folders area and downloaded tmm_2.9.5_1bf3695_linux.tar and extracted to the TMM folder. Easy peezy
4) Next I clicked on tmm.jar and picked to run with Java like you said. It just throws up a error about it not being able to execute. so I went into permissions and made the tick to let it run and now when I click to run with Java it doesn't show anything at all.
5) so I done some further research which led me to the Tiny Media Manager Wiki page for installation saying these steps below.....
**Taken from Tiny Media Manager Wiki Page**
For Linux tinyMediaManager comes as a packaged install directory. tinyMediaManager has a shell script to start (which is needed for the first run). At the first start tinyMediaManger creates a .desktop file which can be move to ~/.local/share/applications to start tinyMediaManager directly from the desktop environment.
You should download libmediainfo from https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download if that library is outdated in your distributions package archive!
Note: In case you get a blank window when starting tinyMediaManager, see below for a possible solution.
[url=https://github.com/tinyMediaManager/tinyMediaManager/wiki/Installation#ubuntudebian][/url]Ubuntu/Debian
Code:
# apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
# apt-get install libmediainfo
# cd /path/to/tinyMediaManager
# ./tinyMediaManager.sh
6) So I ran the shell script in terminal that I posted below, pointing to the script in the TMM folder where I extracted everything. That worked good running that and then it made the .desktop file. I clicked on the .desktop file and it loaded up the program no problem on Ubuntu v17.10 but since then I tried out Linux Mint as it seems more easier for me coming from the Windows environment and I ran these same steps but when I click on the .desktop file in Linux Mint it will not run. Only way I could get Tiny Media Manager to run on Linux Mint was to open a file manager with Root access and then when I clicked on the .desktop file it loaded Tiny Media Manager no problem. So I figured I had to change the permissions on the the .desktop file since it was letting Root run it but not my user account. So I then changed the permission on the .desktop file to give my user name access and it would not launch at all. Only launches when I have Root set before clicking the .desktop file in Linux Mint or by running this
(sudo ./tinyMediaManager.sh) every time in Terminal (Yea I know I said Linux Mint a hundred times! hehe LINUX MINT!)
Just wonder why the shell script runs awesome along with the nifty shortcut it makes on Ubuntu 17.10 but will not work the same under Linux Mint v18.2 Sonya? Maybe i'm doing something wrong in Linux Mint but I can deal with using Unbuntu if I have to. I think the transition will be easier on me if I can get Tiny Media Manager to work on Linux Mint. If anyone has any suggestions, i'm all ears. This has been a fun learning experience so far. Really enjoying myself.
Code:
sudo ./tinyMediaManager.sh
