Providing an AppImage would have, among others, these advantages:
appimaged
Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.
Another benefit of packaging would be to expand the user base by making installation easier.
Today I was able to install and run OpenGospel for the first time. My previous attempts failed. Here's what worked for me (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS):
To satisfy dependencies:
Python 3
sudo apt-get install python3
WebKitGTK
sudo apt-get install gir1.2-webkit2-4.0
Python GObject
sudo apt-get install -y python-gobject
Download and extract OpenGospel
To get the scripture text, I download and ran the "generator script."
Then, I moved the new "scriptures" folder into the following OpenGospel folder:
OpenGospel-master/generated-standard-works/
Now it's working! I hope this is helpful to others who come after me.
@jcarroll You can also just move the files in OpenGospel-master/scriptures.nephi.org
into OpenGospel-master/generated-standard-works/scriptures
, and rename index.html
to main-menu.html
.
This issue will be on hold until 1.0. Packages will need to be made for various distributions, or maybe even an appImage
