Here we can see several Linux distributions supported by Node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/

I would very much appreciate it, if ArchLinux and its derivatives were also supported, thank you in advance.

Instead of FWCloud-Installer you can use the FWCloud DEB/RPM packages for install FWCloud in nearly any DBM/RPM packages Linux based distribution:

You can see here information about it: https://fwcloud.net/en/documentation/installation/#packages

Hi cmunyoz,

but ArchLinux has pacman as package manager?

Greetings Klaus.

Hi Klaus, Yes, you are right ...

But you can use tools like alien for convert rpm packages to pacman packages.

Another option is use Docker: https://fwcloud.net/en/documentation/installation/#docker

Or create a new virtual machine with a DEB/RPM packages based Linux distribution (Debian or Ubuntu, for example) and install your FWCloud console there.

Have in mind that FWCloud can manage several firewalls and that it is not necessary to install FWCloud into the firewall that you want to manage. Is better to have FWCloud in a dedicated virtual machine and manage all your firewalls from it.

We will adapt the FWCloud-Installer in order to support ArchLinux, but it is not a priority issue now, for this reason I suggest all these alternatives.
