It has been a while since I've used via through the binary release. Together with 2.2.0 release making the binary an electron wrapper that points to https://usevia.app/, i.e. probably no more updates in the future. I am now going to disown this package.
Thank you everyone who help me in the past, either through contribute or reporting.
Thank you
Looks like the latest version fails to symlink /usr/bin/via correctly. Should point to /opt/VIA/via-nativia, but instead points to /opt/VIA/via.
binary releases starting from 2.0.4 will be binary distribution of electron builds for https://usevia.app/
@TornaxO7 upstream issue, workaround
Also, vial is an opensource alternative, I suggest trying that out
I'm getting the following error message:

Is that normal? (I just normally run it with via, but sudo via --no-sandbox works).
Worked after installing a polkit agent for my sway/wayland desktop, installed lxpolkit and ran in a separate terminal before launching via.
@kusky You should be fine after setting up a Polkit authentication agent https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit#Authentication_agents
or u can run via as sudo via --no-sandbox
getting: Error: No polkit authentication agent found.
@timescam It might be helpful to add a symlink to the binary to /usr/bin to make it easier to call from the command-line. It appears that you are attempting to add something to /usr/bin since you create it in package(), but that directory appears to still be empty in my package - did this get removed in a refactor or something?
As is, you have to call via using the full path (/opt/VIA/via) on the command-line if you don't want to add /opt/VIA to your $PATH.
