That's a bummer. I wonder if Wine can run full Chrome or Node.js. I know Electron is a combination of both.
You could build it for Linux though. https://github.com/keverw/SteemWrite
Install Node.js and NPM
npm install in the root of it
then run npm run distlin and it should split out a .deb and .rpm file
I'm gonna try that when I get home this app could be epic. I installed it on my girlfriends laptop for her to use but I don't feel inspired when using her laptop plus I keep a projects folder of pictures and videos I've taken and other stuff links and data I not down when I feel I might make post on it
can you provide a slight amount more of detail i tried like hell though to get it to work
Interesting. Basically you'd need NPM/Node.js installed. NPM and Node I believe needs to be set in the path on Linux. I haven't played with it too much on Linux.
But you want npm and node commands to work. I know on Windows and Mac the setup is pretty easy. Just a GUI and it does it. Linux is more commandline based.
It also uses SQLite so node-gyp it uses for that, which is part of node itself I believe. Never really called it directly before.
but for it to compile you should have:
python (v2.7 recommended - not 3)
make
GCC
because as it builds, it will also compile SQLite and include that as a native extension.
But then once you have it installed git checkout https://github.com/keverw/SteemWrite the product
then you should be able to run
npm installthenpm run distlinand then the Electron builder that got installed into the project should build the Linux version.Hope's a little better. Wonder what part specifically you are being stuck on. I only really know how to do things on Mac and Windows but a very similar build process.
