lemonade-server has a systemd service unit. Use systemctl start lemond to start.

Default configuration is available at /usr/share/lemonade/defaults.json and should be placed at: /var/lib/lemonade/.cache/lemonade/config.json

Also /etc/lemonade/conf.d/zz-secrets.conf for the Lemonade API KEY.

The cache where all models, backends, and other files are stored is now in /var/lib/lemonade/.cache

GUI: lemonade-desktop.

@Migsi That's the same issue I had last week which made me accidentally add it to makedependencies. I think I have to find a better way to deal with it. I believe having to --rebuild is normal, but I want to understand if there is a better way to deal with it.

With the latest update of libwebsockets at 2026-04-10 my install broke, as it is looking for the wrong version of the .so file. A plain reinstall won't trigger a rebuild, as the artifacts appear to remain cached.

EDIT: Overlooked the '--rebuild' flag. Fixed it as expected. Is there some way for AUR packages to auto rebuild on dependency updates?

@no4b they are needed for lemonade-server according to namcap. This package distributes multiple binaries, and not all of them need the same dependencies. However, the package should list all dependencies for all binaries (not examples).

@HurricanePootis: Most of dependencies you mentioned are not needed for lemonade-server. They might be necessary for lemonade-desktop but definitely not all of them. I don't have libnotify and libayatana-appindicator installed and both lemonade-server and lemonade-desktop work just fine for me.

@luciddream

I'm actually using lemonade on strix point with a Ryzen AI 7 350 and it works with the FastFlowLM backend.

Also, from one AUR maintainer to another, tools like namcap and extra-x86-64-build are really good tools to incorporate into your package tool set. Namcap is able to analyze built packages and check for stuff like missing dependencies, missing license files, missing LDFLAGS passed to the package, etc. extra-x86-64 is a wrapper around tools like makechrootpkg and mkarchroot.

Hi @HurricanePootis, you are right about the libsockets library I accidentally put it in makedepends in the last release while testing something. I will check the other libraries you mentioned in the weekend when I will have more time.

The only problem with ninja is that since lemonade-server is being used for LLMs, and usually with a Strix Halo PC that has 32 threads, it could fill the memory quickly and result in a crash. I'm not sure it still has that issue because the code has been cleaned up a bit in the past weeks. I will also check if it's possible to remove it in the next release.

@luciddream,

Hi, this package is currently missing some dependencies from depends(): gtk3, brotli, libcap, libayatana-appindicator, libnotify, systemd-libs, libwebsockets, curl, glib2, libgcc, bash, glibc, libstdc++, and zlib. I confirmed this using the utility namcap.

There are also missing python dependencies, but those are for the example python scripts distributed with this project

Also, I personally disagree overriding how many flags are used to compile software with the nproc thing. I know ninja doesn't read MAKEFLAGS, but if it exist, maybe consider parsing it and respecting the user's chosen number of jobs in `/etc/makepkg.conf

I pushed the latest 10.1.0 version. It has a lot of changes. One of those changes is the default port is now 13305 instead of 8000. The configuration is also in a different path (as described in the pinned comment)

Oops, forgot to commit the tmpfiles change. My bad. thanks for reporting @That1Calculator, can you please try again
