Now this error:

@nicholasr-ITSulu I think you should install electron26-bin at first.

Following issue upon install using pamac on latest CachyOS as well as Garuda.

Current nodejs installed 24.5.0-2

Installing electron26-bin removed the above error.

Thanks @zxp19821005 i will keep that in mind, its not immediately clear what electron version upstream anythingllm uses.

I only realised this was broken today, I will see if i can work on the issues this evening, but can't promise anything.

Here is what i have ascertained far about the issues:

But Electron needs to be updated from v26 to v36 (I dont know if it was a typo or we haven't updated electron version pin for a long time)

v26 is from 2023, probably not great for security(the tool use features, *could introduce vectors, worth erring on the side of caution).

Anyway the package gives: Error: Invalidprisma.workspaces.create()invocation: Prisma Client could not locate the Query Engine for runtime "debian-openssl-1.1.x". This happened because Prisma Client was generated for "debian-openssl-3.0.x", but the actual deployment required "debian-openssl-1.1.x". Add "debian-openssl-1.1.x" tobinaryTargetsin the "schema.prisma" file and runprisma generateafter saving it: generator client { provider = "prisma-client-js" binaryTargets = ["native", "debian-openssl-1.1.x"] } The following locations have been searched: /usr/lib/anythingllm-desktop/backend/node_modules/.prisma/client /usr/lib/anythingllm-desktop/backend/node_modules/@prisma/client /home/tim/Documents/anything-llm-desktop/anything-llm/server/node_modules/@prisma/client /tmp/prisma-engines /usr/lib/anythingllm-desktop/backend/prisma

For the updated pin v36, it gives a different, error, something "undefined".

Not ideal for security either, depricated SSL.

Status:

Packaged stable electron is v36 Upstream electron stable is v37.2.0 as of 9th of July 2025 (09/07/2025).

Anyway, gtg, will update at some point soon.

@dbirks Maybe you can send an issue to the upstream, request to update to the lastest electron36.

Can confirm that this works with electron27 if you wanted to switch to that, now that electron26 isn't in the official repos anymore:

 pkgver=1.8.0
-_electronversion=26
+_electronversion=27
 pkgrel=1

I tried to install it and I got this error:

$ yay -S anythingllm-desktop-bin
-> No AUR package found for nodejs-lts-hydrogen
-> could not find all required packages: nodejs-lts-hydrogen

I could resolve this by:

yay -S electron26-bin

But than the appimage doesn't pass the validity check:

As requested by the pinned comment, I will flag this package as outdated.

@mrwsl Thanks for your feedback, it's my mistake, fixed it.

With the latest update I get:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
anythingllm-desktop-bin: /usr/share/pixmaps exists in filesystem

Source no longer works.

When I build it with a new source, I get an issue when creating a new Workspace (which must be done before any chat can happen).
