Providing support for the executable binary file for Ubuntu and other Linux distros?

[chenle02]

Dear Box Team,

Thanks for your great work~!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I try to use Box CLI on my Ubuntu 20.04 but failed to install it.

In my system, I have a node version v16.17.1. While I tried to install via sudo npm install --global @box/cli , it failed with the following error messages:

npm WARN EBADENGINE Unsupported engine {

Describe the solution you'd like

• It would be great if an executable binary file could be provided for Ubuntu (I am using Ubuntu 20.04).

Describe alternatives you've considered

• I also try to build it from the source. But could you provide makefile and configre file in order to compile the source codes?

Sorry that, I have resolved my issue by install libsecret-1-dev

Hi @chenle02 ,

That's great, So now you are able to install boxcli via npm, right?

Closing as there is no more issue
