Nothing happens when run from the command line on Linux #292

Hi!

I'm unable to get version 3.4.3/gpth-linux to run on Debian. The program exists immediately when I run it from the CL.

~~I was, however, able to run version 3.2.0/gpth-linux without any issues. So there is that! Just thought I'd report it.~~ EDIT: Never mind! Version 3.2.0 starts but runs into an exception at the first interaction step. But I won't comment on this since it's an older version (unless requested).

I would be happy to provide more information but I couldn't find any logs for this program.

# lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Release:        12
Codename:       bookworm

Program exists immediately when run

Huh weird. Can you try with --help ?

If still doesn't work, could you try to install dart and run the code directly https://dart.dev/get-dart ?

Maybe dart expects some libc stuff or whatever that you don't have on your pure-Debian system??

Ehhh... another sign to go for another full blazing-fast rewrite in Rust...

OH AND PS. DO NOT RUN THE OLD VERSIONS!!! As this tool is pretty user-data-delicate anyway. Especially i remember that 3.2.0 was extracting the zips on it's own which ended up in missing some files or smth... dont do it!!

Oh wow my apologies... it looks like the download of the binary messed up somehow - it's empty! You can even see it sitting there at 0 bytes on my screenshot 🤦

Anyhow, I downloaded it again and it works fine now. Sorry!

Thank you for still maintaining this. This tool just saved me hours of my time, will donate a few bucks!
