Hey Arch,

I was able to run it early on linux. I had to follow follow the running in development mode instructions in the readme here.

If you want to create a build for production maybe try
npm run package:linux

I ran npm run package:win on my windows 11 pc and it successfully created a portable exe and an installer for windows, so the linux command might work for you.
