[Bug] AppImage package doesn't start

[vitrola06]

OS: Fedora 40 KDE on Wayland session Version: v3.0.0-stable Launching the program doesn't work, even with --no-sandbox argument. The process seems to start, but stops suddenly. How can I troubleshoot this?

Uncaught Exception:
Error: Could not load the "sharp" module using the linux-x64 runtime
ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED: libvips-cpp.so.42: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Possible solutions:
- Ensure optional dependencies can be installed:
    npm install --include=optional sharp
    yarn add sharp --ignore-engines
- Ensure your package manager supports multi-platform installation:
    See https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install#cross-platform
- Add platform-specific dependencies:
    npm install --os=linux --cpu=x64 sharp
- Consult the installation documentation:

@vitrola06, You can try the solution from #207.

Did sudo apt install libvips (or to be specific libvips42). And after that, both .deb installed pkg as well as the AppImage worked fine!

[vitrola06]

My bad, didn't remember to check closed issues, only open ones. However, I have noticed this package is not available on Fedora or copr, so the only option would we be to build it from source, right? If this is the case, would it be better to just build Nora from source, which seems to work fine?

But libvips packages doesn't seem to found in dnf.

Just found that, it is just vips in dnf while as libvips in apt.

I think it would be nice for this info to be added to the README file. Other than that, thanks for the responses.
