Linux deb fails

[xanni]

Running macintosh.js on Ubuntu 20.04 it crashes while starting with the following output:

Same problem here...

cd /usr/lib/macintosh.js/resources/app/
sudo yarn add github-url-to-object

seems to fix that immediate issue.

After that, it seems stuck on "Loading emulator dependencies" without further errors (except Electron's autoUpdater does not support the 'linux' platform)

[felixrieseberg]

Oof, that's annoying. Sorry friends, I'll fix that.

For those on debian (buster) who don't have a js dev environment set up, you can use debian's yarn which is named yarnpkg:

sudo apt install yarnpkg
sudo yarnpkg add (..)

Here's a horror show for you: sudo macintosh.js --no-sandbox works like a charm. I'm sorry.

(Root cause is likely the FS image is written out to a directory a normal user cannot write to. Hence sudo being a bigger hammer but a bad idea.)

Stuck at emulator loading was probably fixed by #24
