arch

NOTE: We don't officially support Arch Linux for use with the Mattermost Desktop App. The provided guide is unofficial.

1. Open a terminal

2. Install nvm via

   1. nvm-sh:

      curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.5/install.sh | bash

      OR
   2. AUR (possibly using a helper):

      yay -S nvm

3. Install NodeJS via

   nvm install --lts

4. Install other dependencies:

   Linux requires the X11 development libraries and libpng to build native Node modules. Arch requires libffi since it's not installed by default.

   sudo pacman -S npm git python3 gcc make libx11 libxtst libpng libffi

Notes

• To build RPMs, you need rpmbuild

  sudo pacman -S rpm
