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
3. nvm-sh:

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

   OR
4. AUR (possibly using a helper):

   yay -S nvm
   

5. Install NodeJS via

   nvm install --lts
   

6. 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
