Failing to run on Linux (Debian)

[jgbarah]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to run in Debian, using the Linux installer from the 1.0.5 release, but it fails

To Reproduce

Download the Linux tar.gz, untar it. cd Alpaca Electron-linux-x64 ./Alpaca\ Electron

Write a question. It waits forever...

Even before writing a question, I get in the terminal:

innerError Error: Cannot find module '../build/Debug/pty.node'

Oh I built the Linux version on windows, might've messed something up with node-pty. I'll build it again today with WSL or a VM and let you know.

Any news on this issue? I have the same problem on Debian 11

[ItsPi3141]

Fixed it. Try download the file from releases again.

Thanks a lot! I works now for me.
