Linux waiting for U.

[slavaGanzin]

Don't you ever try rdm?

[mingjunyang]

@slavaGanzin Qt too heavy, and RedisDesktopManager not support OpenSUSE. I need try to fix the configure file.

[luin]

It's not hard to support Linux and Windows since Medis is built on top of the Electron. I'll find some time to write a build script so that we can release a cross-platform version next time.

[mingjunyang]

@luin good news! thx!

[mathieumg]

This would be very welcome! :+1: Thanks for the great work.

[lakano]

Hello ! Waiting too the GNU/Linux version :) And as @mingjunyang on OpenSuse, I also hope a RPM package ( Fedora ). RedisDesktopManager doesn't provide it, and Medis could may be have this advantage too on RDM :)

[luin]

Sorry for the delay. A little busy these days :bicyclist: :crying_cat_face:. I built a Windows version successfully several days ago. The hardest part is to write a build script so that we can build OS X/Linux/Windows versions automatically every time we publish a new release. I found module https://github.com/maxogden/electron-packager should make things easier, but I don't have time at this moment. I'll revisit this issue in one or two weeks. Pull request is welcome BTW :laughing:.

[mathieumg]

Thanks for the update! It's funny, because I discovered that module yesterday too, which reminded me of this project. :grin: No hurry, we're all busy with various projects, I know the feeling. :weary:

[luin]

Just an update for this issue. I opened a pull request of using electron-packager for packaging (#21). For now, electron-packager doesn't support building Mac App Store version, so I'll wait for the releasing of 6.0 (https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager/blob/master/NEWS.md) before merge this pull request.

[plantain-00]

electron-packager 7.0 is just released. https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager/releases

[luin]

That's fast. I'm working on it.

[khaledAX]

any update, guys? waiting for Ubuntu ... :confused:

[uglide]

Just FYI, RDM now supports OpenSUSE

[ProjectInfinity]

Any update? Just found this and while I love using it on my Mac, at home where I am using Windows I miss the application dearly.

[zedtux]

@luin any update on this?

[m7shapan]

@luin any new update?

[zedtux]

@luin if you need help, just ask

[luin]

Sorry for the delay! A little busy these months. It would be great if anyone likes to contribute the package scripts for Linux and Windows. Let me know if any help is needed.

BTW, My workmate and I use Medis as part of our everyday workflow, so I'll definitely continue to bring bugfixes and new features when I have time (hopefully next month). Thank you for using Medis!

[zedtux]

I'm not promising anything but I will give it a try on Linux.

[markasoftware]

@luin can you confirm that all which would need to be changed is the build scripts? No js changes necessary?

[luin]

@markasoftware I tried running Medis on Windows two months ago and I was able to get it run without any modification on js code.

[andreldm]

For anyone wishing to use the app right now, it's as easy as:

1. git clone https://github.com/luin/medis or download the repository zip
2. npm install
3. npm run run
4. Profit 😎

[antonkomarev]

@andreldm Yup. It's just working without any issues on Ubuntu 16.04

[mathieumg]

Which tag/branch?

Edit: mas branch.

[antonkomarev]

@mathieumg I've used master branch.

[andreldm]

Here is a WIP PKGBUILD for Arch Linux users: https://gist.github.com/andreldm/9f4fcda1674245d2f8abcde777f8db1c

Just download all files and run makepkg -si. Note: Any feel free to take this PKGBUILD and push to AUR as I don't use Medis, I friend of mine was playing with Redis and I came across this project, made it work on my machine and showed it to him. End of story.

For anyone wishing to use the app right now, it's as easy as:

1. git clone https://github.com/luin/medis or download the repository zip
2. npm install
3. npm run run
4. Profit :sunglasses:

Now for me instead npm run run -> npm run electron

[zedtux]

Thank you @darky, you pinged me at the right moment! 👍

Unfortunately, it's not working for me (tried with the master branch):

I have this blank window and nothing happens...

EDIT: Same on the mas branch)

[darky]

Actual steps

1. git clone https://github.com/luin/medis or download the repository zip
2. npm install
3. npm run build
4. npm run electron
5. Profit :sunglasses:

FYI I'm running Debian Jessie.

I have installed Node 4.x and doing the npm install command fails with:

npm ERR! Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64
npm ERR! argv "/usr/bin/nodejs" "/usr/bin/npm" "install"
npm ERR! node v4.8.4

Upgrading Node to 6.x make it working like @darky described.
