request a installer for GNU/Linux #631

Closed cmatomic closed 6 years ago

cmatomic commented 6 years ago

I leave a recommendation for developers to use appimage for software distribution on GNU / Linux systems. https://appimage.org/

joshmorel commented 6 years ago

@cmatomic what are your thoughts on using snaps instead? Both seem like they will do the trick (snaps major advantage seems to be use on a server, which isn't applicable for a wallet).

Have you built with either? If the developers have other priorities I wouldn't mind taking a stab at this.

Piling onto this thread mostly to say that frankly I'm surprised that there still isn't a Linux version of the wallet, which makes Cardano an outlier in the cryptocurrency landscape. Disappointing.

I'd recommend AppImage if you are looking to do a universal installer.

I agree. Linux support should be getting a higher priority. AppImage is a good format for those kinds of endeavours.
