Extract app archive from installer
/bin/sh: 1: 7z: not found
make: *** [Makefile:19: prepare] Error 127

Then when I try to run make build_deb returns an error "Command 'build-deb' not found." I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Hello!

As you can see before the error /bin/sh: 1: 7z: not found, 7z is missing but required by the installation. So you have to install it.

And as your installation failed, obviously the build_deb couldn't work.

[samuelv8]

Agreed, but why 7z is a dependency if I just want to generate a .deb file?

[adynemo]

Because to generate the deb file, the official app is downloaded and the sources are extracted from it. And for this extraction, 7z is required, as you can see here: https://github.com/aunetx/deezer-linux/blob/master/Makefile#L20 Maybe this step can be done in another way, I don't know. At least, the 7z should be a requirement in the README.md

[aunetx]

You're correct, and I should have put it in the readme, sorry :)

Leaving this open until I correct it ^^
