Can this app be compiled on Linux?

[eggice1234]

Hi Jason,
My OS is Manjaro Linux.
While following the instruction to build from source, an error happened in this step - npm run make-py.
Not sure if Linux is supported since only Windows/Mac binaries were provided.
I have little knowledge to debug. If it's not trivial to deal with, I would boot to my slow win7 anyway.
Any suggesiton? Thanks.

It seems to be the same issue as pyinstaller/pyinstaller#5540.
Upgrading PyInstaller to 4.3 should help.

Thanks.
After I upgraded PyInstaller to 4.3, I can move on to next step and generate executable.
Although still have trouble building deb/rpm, I can run blockly-app in linux now.
