Consider releasing a package for Arch-based systems #181

I'm an Arch Linux user and I'm having a really hard time building from source. It would be great if there were a package hosted on the AUR. I don't know how much this is an edge-case though.

@alec-hoyland want to share the problems you were having and maybe we can help? I'm not an Arch user but work on an Ubuntu box so should be similar in building.

alec-hoyland commented 5 years ago

Sure thing. When I get a chance, I'll try building from source in a VM and see if I can do it there. I'll pass the logs over to you.

I'm with latest Arch Linux, npm install fails with sources. But it seems you can use the compiled binary from /opt/ScienceFair that's on the rpm package.
