Linux AppImage?

[dandv]

Congratulations on v0.15! 🚀

Any plans to publish AppImage binaries for Linux?

[mayneyao]

Building a Linux application image should be feasible. I have attempted to build and publish it through Github Action, but other test users reported that they're unable to open it.
It runs smoothly on my Mac using Parallels with Ubuntu arm64, but the x64 version fails to run. Without access to a suitable Linux device, I'm unable to debug the issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running Fedora on an x64 laptop. Happy to test/debug.

VirtualBox also supports MacOS arm64 now, maybe it can run x64 guests?

Yesterday I tried VirtualBox arm64, which only supports arm64 Linux.I also tried UTM, which supports x86_64 Linux, but I got stuck during system initialization. The emulated execution is very slow, just like they say, the difference between a hare and a tortoise.
Then I discovered that Parallels added support for x86 emulation a while ago. https://www.parallels.com/blogs/parallels-desktop-20-2-0/ It's available for Pro users.I really don't want to subscribe, I'll hardly ever use it.

If you really want to run Eidos on Linux.

git clone https://github.com/mayneyao/eidos.git
pnpm install
pnpm download-libsimple

# for dev
pnpm dev:desktop

# for build
pnpm build:desktop
pnpm pkg:desktop

"engines": {
  "node": ">=18.0.0",
  "pnpm": ">=8.5.0"
},

I am happy to assist with any problems you may encounter.

Trying to build but get some error...

@crisqyxw It seems that the pnpm-lock.yaml file was regenerated because a newer version of pnpm was used. The API of the webllm package is unstable even in minor versions. Currently, only the web app uses it, but the actual performance is not good, and I plan to remove it. Ensure pnpm lock is in the correct version

lockfileVersion: '6.0'

I will update the dev branch to remove support for webllm

The Linux build can now run normally. You may need to add the --no-sandbox parameter when running it.

./Eidos-0.18.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage --no-sandbox.

https://github.com/mayneyao/eidos/releases/tag/v0.18.1

Eidos started fine without --no-sandbox and behaved well. It only threw an error upon initializing an FTS index, I'll see if I can reproduce.
