PSA: The build process for this package is known to be broken because it requires older versions of stuff than is available in Arch now. The only way I know of to install it is to use packages that were built back when the npm in Arch was older. You can use my user repository to get the latest successful build.

I tried several times installing marktext, and it's painful (here's last error I got). I ended up installing marktext-bin, which installed marktext in a moment and works greatly so far.

@alerque: There's a typo on line 77, so no icons are install except for the unnecessary, gigantic PNG installed in pixmaps.

-   find -name maktext.png -exec \
+   find -name "$pkgname.png" -exec \

@AlbertoAru I tried to build marktext-git with my patch in a clean chroot (build with extra-x86_64-build), and it seems good. This patch is also used in some unofficial repo like ArchLinuxcn.

But I have not tried to build the tag release. So I think using vcs package (marktext-git) is a good choice.

@cubercsl I tried what your patch and got an error (see below).

I used this method to edit the PKBUILD package and compile from there. I must say, though, that my PKBUILD had electron15 instead of electron11 and cd "$_archive" instead of cd "$pkgname". I did not modified this last part (with cd "$_archive" instead of cd "$pkgname")

The file exists because I've been editing it and I have it opened with kate:

@chrislea it is because the _electronDist is /usr/lib/electron not /usr/bin

In the past /usr/bin/electron is a symlink of /usr/lib/electron/electron but now it is a wrapper. You can check my patch at marktext-git for reference.

I am also getting a build failure using Node 16.x. I am unsure if this is the bug @jose1711 referenced. He's relevant output:

To ensure your native dependencies are always matched electron version, simply add script `"postinstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps" to your `package.json`

For all of offical electron package, which $_electron becomes electron launch wrapper after this commit.

So the local _electronDist=$(dirname $(realpath $(which $_electron))) can not follow the symlink, and it be should changed.

See my patch at marktext-git for recent commit.
