🛠️ Building for Linux 🐧

Before building for linux make sure to install dependency libcrypt on your system

Debian base systems

sudo apt install libcrypt

Fedora/RHL systems

sudo dnf install libxcrypt-compat

AppImage

  • use script dist:linux using following command

    npm run dist:linux AppImage

Note:- AppImage Support Login see REAMDE.ME for detail

Deb

  • deb also can be build using script dist:linux using following command

    npm run dist:linux deb

    Note:- DEB installation should support user login after installation (not yet tested). Raise issue if login does not work for deb installations.

Rpm

RPM build requires additional package rpmbuild. install it using your package manager.<Br>

Dependecies installation:

  • Debian Distros <BR>

    sudo apt install rpm-build

  • Fedora/RHL <BR>

    sudo dnf install rpm-build

    Read more about rpm-build

BUILD RPM

rpm installation can be created using dist:linux using following command

  npm run dist:linux rpm

Note:- RPM installation support user login. Tested on

  • OS: Fedora Workstation 39
  • DE: GNOME 45.4

Flatpak

  • install flatpak && flatpak-builder for your operating system usign appropriate package manager.

  • set appropriate runtimeVersion and baseVersion in package.json

    {
.......package.json stuff......
    "build":{
        .......other electron-builder stuff......
        "flatpak":{
            "runtimeVersion":"23.08",
           "baseVersion":"23.08"
        }
    }
}

    Note:- if runtimeVersion and baseVersion are not set it will default to 20.08 which might not be installed on your system so check the version using following command and update the package.json accordingly.

    flatpak info runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform

    The output will look something like this

    Freedesktop Platform - Runtime platform for applications

          ID: org.freedesktop.Platform
         Ref: runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/23.08

    specify the version 23.08 (according to above output) as runtimeVersion .

    check baseVersion using the following command

    flatpak info app/org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp

    if you get error something like this

    error: No remote refs found for ‘app/org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp/x86_64/23.08’

    this means you did not have BaseApp install it using following command

  • flatpak install flathub app/org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp

    then run the previous command again to check the version and set the baseVersion

  • At last use the following command to build the flatpak

    npm run dist:linux flatpak

    Note:- if you get any error while building flatpak run this env DEBUG='@malept/flatpak-bundler' command and then run above command again to see detailed logs.
