Error on building in Ubuntu about caprine

[sindresorhus]

You need to run $ npm run build-linux.

[vikas-parashar]

Tried. Still not working. http://pastebin.com/7ezqP7hW

[sindresorhus]

Did you run $ npm install first?

[vikas-parashar]

yeah, npm install followed by npm start.

[sindresorhus]

Not really sure where it's failing. Try installing electron-packager globally and try each command separately.

$ electron-packager . Caprine --overwrite --out=dist --ignore='^/dist$' --ignore='^/media/(?!Icon.png$).*' --prune --platform=linux --arch=x64 --app-bundle-id=com.sindresorhus.caprine --app-version=0.1.2 --version=0.33.3

cd dist/Caprine-linux-x64/

zip -ryq9 ../Caprine-linux-0.1.2.zip *

Since first error on building was Command failed: /bin/sh -c npm prune --production. I tried by removing --prune from the command and it worked.

[vikas-parashar]

I will try this on another system and check if error reproduces.

[vikas-parashar]

I tried by adding npm prune --production like this
"build-linux": "npm prune --production && electron-packager . $npm_package_productName --overwrite --out=dist --ignore='^/dist$' --ignore='^/media/(?!Icon.png$).*' --prune --platform=linux --arch=x64 --app-bundle-id=com.sindresorhus.caprine --app-version=$npm_package_version --version=$npm_package_electronVersion && cd dist/Caprine-linux-x64/ && zip -ryq9 ../Caprine-linux-\"$npm_package_version\".zip *" and it worked.

I am not sure if it can be considered as temporary fix untill electron-packager resolves the issue.

[sindresorhus]

I don't want to end up with a bunch of temporary workarounds. I'm the only one that needs to build anyways. If for some weird reason you need this just work around it locally.

[vikas-parashar]

I suggested this fix, because it's same as what --prune flag do(at least that what I thought) and for other devs who might want to builld for some reason but I might be wrong since you know better and I'm just a learner so I'll try not to fix things again in these ways. Thanks!!
