Beta's `install-linux.sh` doesn't "just work" (expects a dir that's missing, needs sudo without prior notice) #48

Closed metaleap closed 2 months ago

metaleap commented 4 months ago

Both for the functionality of the app itself and to see GIO UI in action, I downloaded the latest Release ("first beta") and extracted it. Then I did this in the terminal:

[~/a/Chapar_linux_amd64] ./install-linux.sh 
install: cannot stat '/home/_/a/Chapar_linux_amd64/chapar': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/local/share/applications’: Permission denied

Well I can probably still get things going from these admittedly seemingly trivial 2 complaints — but maybe you want to pre-empt this UX so here's an Issue for that =) after all, an app as this could become really quite popular given the Electron bloat of the Postman / Insomnia etc. space!

Well, after I manually did mkdir chapar the shell script now says install: omitting directory '/home/_/a/Chapar_linux_amd64/chapar' ... so I guess the chapar dir should have been in the .tar.gz but wasn't?

Thanks for reporting this. I removed the Linux version from release for now until I can fix this. 🙏
