I tried to install this the other day.

I didn't get it working on my Linux machine, but you will definitely see some pull requests once I have time to fiddle with it. The electron version is a nice idea but I would prefer better instructions for installing the normal version. "This script will do it all" is not always helpful.

Thanks for the report. Yea it is not easy to install on linux unless you use the docker version. There are many dependencies and PPAs required in the script because it does everything.

We are working on better linux packing and distribution (see our issue tracker), but it is not easy to do it right, and it will take a while.

PRs very welcome!
