@skare1412 Your solution works great!

Thanks!

Thank you @theslees that was indeed the issue. But because of the amount of packages missing (and afaik installing npm packages globally like that is not recommended on arch) I did a small workaround by copying the node_modules folder (without devDependencies) into the app directory (very dirty solution I know but it works).

Then smth wrong is going with the vite config.

@ArjixWasTaken

They are not bundled, and the only way to get this application working is by installing them externally into root with sudo npm install -g

This applies to your AUR and repository (https://repo.arjix.dev) builds of this package.

All npm dependencies are bundled with the app, so installing them externally will do nothing.

Edit: at least that should be the case?

@skare1412 you must install the missing npm package with sudo npm install -g electron-is, and any other modules it complains about.

When I try to use this I get an error when I start the app. I am not sure if the issue is on my side. The stable release version (pear-desktop-bin) works. I can observe this error with this package as well as with the precompiled one you provide under https://repo.arjix.dev/

App threw an error during load Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'electron-is' imported from /usr/lib/pear-desktop/app.asar/dist/main/config-DReKyrVZ.js ...

I started using Arch 3 weeks ago so I dont actually understand what this error mean... is it because I uninstalled pear-desktop-bin incorrectly?
