[It's just making it easy and just sharing]
It is annoying and difficult to write code in the terminal just to open this best software in my opinion.
Let's start from Build from source.

1. sudo apt install npm // Please do this 'npm' installation if you want to do the next process
2. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
3. cd Downloads
4. git clone https://github.com/oguzhaninan/Buka.git 
5. cd Buka
6. npm install && npm run build && npm start

Referensi: oguzhaninan /Buka

After we have done all the processes we will be shown the Open interface, which means successful and continue by closing Buka.
To open the Buka software we are required to type code in the terminal for directory replacement (If I cd Downloads). Then after accessing the Buka directory type the program npm start and this results in user inefficiency.
Let me give you a solution to make it easier to access the Buka software.

Step by step starts by opening a new terminal, then typing in the following command line.

  1. sudo nano /usr/share/applications/Buka.desktop
  2. In this nano file fill it with:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Version=1.0
    Name=Buka
    Comment=EBook Management
    Exec=npm start --prefix=/home/<username>/Downloads/Buka
    Icon=/home/<username>/Buka/assets/img/icon.png
    Terminal=false
    Type=Application
    Categories=Application; 
  1. Still on the 'nano file', finish writing or copying the code above try doing it
    save (ctrl + o & ENTER) and continue exit (ctrl + x)
  2. Then change the access permissions of the system object 'Buka.desktop' file
    sudo chmod +x /usr/share/applications/Buka.desktop
  3. Do an 'update' to make it more perfect
    sudo apt update
  4. Try checking the launcher is ready on 'windows start menu'
  5. Type a name Buka

Hopefully this helps make it easier for you readers and sorry in my english.
Good luck
