How to install Video DownloadHelper Companion App 1.6.3 on Endless OS #128

Closed 92def closed 1 year ago

Hello

I keep failing to install Video DownloadHelper Companion App on Endless OS.

Can you detail which steps I should follow please? https://www.downloadhelper.net/install-coapp?browser=firefox#other-installers

If Video DownloadHelper could be found in the Enless OS App Center, it would be marvellous!

Thanks

I don't know specifics about Endless OS but since it is not Ubuntu nor Debian, you probably cannot use the .deb versions of the distribution. Pick the .tar.gz version corresponding to your system architecture, 32 or 64 bits, untar to a system location, like /usr/local then execute once the binary with command line options install --system to complete the installation.

You should be able to do so using those commands:

sudo tar xf net.downloadhelper.coapp-1.6.3-1_amd64.tar.gz -C /usr/local
sudo /usr/local/net.downloadhelper.coapp-1.6.3/bin/net.downloadhelper.coapp-linux-64 install --system

I believe Endless OS uses Flatpak by default, in which case this is related to #114 and #137, and possibly the same solution applies.
