Provide .tar.gz download of Gitbook Editor for non-debian systems (such as Fedora)

[ge0ffrey]

On this page: https://www.gitbook.com/editor/linux I downloaded Gitbook Editor for linux, which is .deb file.

Being on Fedora, I can't use the .deb file, so I turned it into an rpm with alien -r gitbook-editor-6.2.1-linux-x64.deb, but when I installed that I got "nothing provides libffmpeg.so()(64bit) needed by gitbook-editor-6.2.1-2.x86_64". Just providing a simple .tar.gz too, would probably make this easier to run on any linux platform.

I do not use Ubuntu or Debian either. I use CentOS. Is there a tar.gz or an rpm that we could use instead? Alien cannot convert this deb to what is needed to get it working.

Hi guys, We had the same issue on Fedora 25. Our workaround, probably more a debug of the process rather than a "pure" solution was to use alien --generate debfile to get the binary and deps. This will extract a folder which contains the binary which will be in ./gitbook-xx/opt/gitbook-editor/editor. (Pretty sure you can simply extract it as a tar without alien, it seems to be an archive.) When running it, you may have errors indicating you're missing libs. In our case, libssl.1.0.0 and libcrypto.1.0.0 were missing. dnf didn't returned any version available to installation for me and I didn't feel like looking into fedora 22 repos to get the corresponding one .. A locate libname´ told us that this lib was provided elsewhere, spotify in my case. Symlink time...sudo ln -s pathToLib /usr/lib64/libName` After that, the editor seemd to work fine

Hello.

The same for me. I'm on Fedora 27 and I can't install Gitbook :(

[lyshie]

Try this one, tested on Fedora 26/27.

Why don't you provide a .rpm package for RPM-based distros (e.g. openSUSE, Fedora, CentOS and many more...) instead of having all these issues? or instead of all these .deb, .rpm packages you can provide appimage, snnapy or flatpack package that can even install and run on any distro!
