Community packages

Below you can find unofficial packages created by the community. They are not officially supported by us, so before reporting issues, please first confirm the issue also happens on official builds. When in doubt, consult with their packager first. The flatpak and AppImage should work on any distro that supports them, so I recommend you just use those instead!

• Arch Linux: Privbop on the Arch user repository
• NixOS: nix-shell -p privbop

Building from Source

You need to have the following dependencies installed:

• Git
• Node.js
• pnpm: npm install --global pnpm

Packaging will create builds in the dist/ folder

Note

On Windows, if you run the test script, you will get test errors about venmic, you can ignore these as it's a linux only module.

git clone https://github.com/UygunUmitcan/Privbop
cd Privbop

# Install Dependencies
pnpm i

# Either run it without packaging
pnpm start

# Or package (will build packages for your OS)
pnpm package

# Or only build the Linux Pacman package
pnpm package --linux pacman

# Or package to a directory only
pnpm package:dir
