Support for Linux #606
Comments

Electron supports AppImage for Linux, I wonder why there is no Linux distro |
|
I recommend cloning the repo and compiling it yourself with "npm run build", if they haven't released version for linux yet they probably won't release it at all, it takes 0 effort to do that with electron |
Yeah, unfortunately it is not as simple as that :( |
|
@richardo2016x is this on the roadmap and/or do you have any pointers for me to implement this? |
Thank you for your love of our product. Unfortunately we currently do not have plans to release a Linux version. Please consider trying the versions available on other platforms. |
Thanks for the info. I'll look into setting up a VM on Linux then. |
Can we get more details on why is it not cross platform? I managed to compile it to .AppImage with npm i && npm run postinstall && npm run build && npm exec electron-builder --linux but when running the appimage I get the module not found error |
When I run the build I get a lot of webpack errors (unused variables, etc). In which branch are you running the build? |
In main branch, I had plenty of errors too but simply ignored them and compiled it. The source code seems like a mess, run 'npm run lint' for example and you'll see hundreds of warnings |

I tried to run Rabby Desktop in "Bottles" on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. I could install rabby with the installer. However, when I want to launch it afterwards, I run into this error and Rabby Desktop won't launch. My bottle runs with Win64 and soda-8.0.2 having mono, dotnet40 and dotnet48 installed. Regarding the error I read
However, I still couldn't get it to work. Could anybody run Rabby Desktop successfully in Bottles (or build it natively as Electron app)? Edit: I also installed Rabby directly in Wine (without using bottles) and today suddenly it worked. 😄 |
|
I also managed to compile the app ignoring all the webpack errors and built the AppImage. I used main branch Does anybody know how to fix it? |
|
You could either add "type": "module" in package.json or use require instead of import in the file that the error was thrown, although as I remember after doing either of those, a new error appeared. Info from devs what exactly causes issues on linux would be lovely |

I was just playing around with this and could take it a bit further. These were the adoptions I made:
// export const RABBY_DESKTOP_KR_PWD = '<set password here>';
export const RABBY_DESKTOP_KR_PWD = IS_RUNTIME_PRODUCTION
? (process as any).RABBY_DESKTOP_KR_PWD!
: process.env.RABBY_DESKTOP_KR_PWD;`to that export const RABBY_DESKTOP_KR_PWD = 'mypwd';
//export const RABBY_DESKTOP_KR_PWD = IS_RUNTIME_PRODUCTION
// ? (process as any).RABBY_DESKTOP_KR_PWD!
// : process.env.RABBY_DESKTOP_KR_PWD;`Then ran

Indeed, the Edit: Managed to get one step further from 5. to 6. 😄
With this one, I'm stuck. I didn't manage to fix it unfortunately. Would be amazing if someone from the dev team can comment on that. May be @richardo2016x ? Thank you. |
I'd like to run Rabby Desktop on linux. If you have any pointers to how this can be accomplished I can maybe try to add this myself.
