Install the AppIndicator extension on Fedora Linux with Wayland/GNOME to enable the Prisma Agent system tray icon before installation.

Where Can I Use This?	What Do I Need?
Prisma Agent	Fedora Linux with the GNOME desktop environment and Wayland display server Administrator (sudo) privileges

Before installing Prisma Agent on Fedora Linux systems running the default Wayland display server with the GNOME desktop environment, you need to set up the system tray icon functionality for Prisma Agent by installing the required GNOME extensions.

This is a common issue since Wayland doesn't natively support the older system tray protocol that many applications, including Prisma Agent, still use. This task applies only to Prisma Agents running on Fedora ARM-based endpoints.

Install the translation layer (AppIndicator extension). This package provides the necessary translation layer to bridge legacy system tray applications with Wayland's security model.
```
sudo dnf install gnome-shell-extension-appindicator
```
(Optional) Install management tools. These tools provide a graphical interface for managing GNOME extensions and browser integration for extension management.
```
sudo dnf install gnome-tweaks gnome-shell-extension-browser-connector
```
Enable and validate the extension.
1. Restart your session by logging out and logging back in, or reboot the system to ensure the extension is loaded properly.
2. Enable the extension.
  Open the GNOME Tweaks application.
  Navigate to the Extensions section.
  Locate AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support.
  Toggle the switch to ON if not already enabled.
3. Proceed with the Prisma Agent installation.
4. Verify the functionality by confirming the Prisma Agent system tray icon appears correctly in the GNOME top bar, providing access to the Prisma Agent app.
