I made a quick installation script, don't use this script twice, don't even use it yet.
Isn't npm start just for development and shouldn't really be used when actually working? Instead build it for an optimised browser?

Exactly. Nintetails will be like 10% faster if you install a built version.

update: npm run build only makes a deb and arm64 package, not a binary.
also it shows an error anyway

update 2: the error is dpkg and fakeroot not being installed, this is a debian only thing. I use fedora
I can extract any deb however, and extract a binary

You need dpkg and fakeroot to build. It's not my problem, it's electron forge's.

From now on, errors (of any kind, including building errors) go on Ninetails' issue page. I don't want this thread to become too offtopic.

Since NineTails can't/hasn't yet become compilable in x86_64, you denying my PR because it used NPM commands doesn't make sense. You HAVE to use npm start on x86_64 since you haven't compiled any binaries. I already proved it impossible with your finicky build system.

It doesn't work for you because you're on Fedora. It's configured to make .deb, .exe, and .zip files.

What file type does Fedora use?

it uses RPMs

https://opensource.com/article/18/9/how-build-rpm-packages

MagicCrayon9342

Even then, the *.deb file has an arm64 package. I'm on x86_64
I extracted the binaries from the deb file and put them in their respective folders and it didn't execute
because its a arm64 binary

Yes, I know, because that's what I built on my arm64 machine. Once I get a x86_64 machine in a few weeks I will build for Windows and Linux. I'll also add RPM support right now, so you can build if you want.

Edit: done. Try cloning and running `npm run make` again.

can you also add RPM (64 bit) support in the build system
maybe “npm run makerpm64” or somethin

It has always been supported!! Just run `npm run make` and it will automatically detect your architecture and build the right package. Any other issues you have go on the repo.

it shows an error that dpkg and fakeroot aren't installed, plus it only does arm64

MagicCrayon9342

An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:
Error: Cannot make for deb, the following external binaries need to be installed: dpkg, fakeroot
    at MakerDeb.ensureExternalBinariesExist (/tmp/488/node_modules/@electron-forge/maker-base/src/Maker.ts:147:13)

Electron Forge was terminated. Location:

MagicCrayon9342

I FOUND THE PROBLEM

You made the build system a terrible way

I had to make fake dpkg and fakeroot binaries in order to build for RPM

MagicCrayon9342

Yay, adding the fake dpkg and fakeroot binaries and installing rpm-build gave me a 64 bit RPM package!

MagicCrayon9342

echo "" > fakeroot
echo "" > dpkg
sudo cp -r fakeroot /bin
sudo cp -r dpkg /bin

MagicCrayon9342

Just a question, does ninetails use any freecat-electron source code?

MagicCrayon9342

I will package and provide pre-made RPMs and zip files of compiled ninetails for 64 bit
