How to build on Linux?

[JamesCropcho]

@etpinard:

Would you mind adding Linux deb target so that I can test it on my laptop? (Sorry for the inconvenience if any)

@JamesCropcho:

I have Ubuntu as the main OS on my laptop, which is a Debian distribution. AppImage is the default format for this build target. If one runs electron-builder . or similar, one would get an AppImage which one can execute on Debian.

@etpinard:

Would you opening up an issue about trying to build this thing for Linux, so that we don't forget about #52 (comment)

I am opening that issue as requested, here.

So as I had stated, we are already building for Linux via the AppImage target. (In fact, I am developing for Plotly on Ubuntu.)

So now, Étienne, to confirm, the AppImage not exactly what you're seeking, and instead the Linux build target should be replaced by deb (a Debian package), is that correct? If so, should this issue be left as a placeholder for that, or would you like me to rapidly make that configuration change?

Could you please add the AppImage download to https://github.com/plotly/image-exporter/releases?

@JamesCropcho was this issue resolved in #63?

[JamesCropcho]

No. However #63 was a dependency to this. Our most likely path to resolving this is manual Github Release creation.

The AppImage target on https://github.com/plotly/orca/releases will be fine for the first series of releases (to be made as soon as #88 is merged). So, closing this thing.
