As well as \ninstructions on how to build the deb packages from the official tarballs. \n\nIt is basically an attempt to reverse engineer the provided install script\nfor the zen browser, found at the link below, for the purpose of creating deb packages.\n[https://updates.zen-browser.app/install.sh](https://updates.zen-browser.app/install.sh)\n\n## Steps to recreate\n1. Clone this repository and enter the folder\n```bash \ngit clone https://github.com/sh4r10/zen-browser-debian.git \u0026\u0026 cd zen-browser-debian\n```\n\n2. Get the latest official tarball for the zen-browser from [here](https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/releases). \n```bash\nwget https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/releases/latest/download/zen.linux-x86_64.tar.xz\n```\n\n3. Look through the variables at the top of the create-zen-deb.sh script, you\n   should only really need to change the version and possibly the tarball name\n```bash\nPACKAGE_NAME=\"zen-browser\"\nVERSION=\"1.11.2b\"\nARCH=\"amd64\"\nTARBALL=\"zen.linux-x86_64.tar.xz\"\nBUILD_DIR=\"${PACKAGE_NAME}_${VERSION}\"\nINSTALL_DIR=\"$BUILD_DIR/opt/zen\"\nBIN_DIR=\"$BUILD_DIR/usr/local/bin\"\nDESKTOP_DIR=\"$BUILD_DIR/usr/local/share/applications\"\n```\n\n4. Run the script\n```bash\n./create-zen-deb.sh\n```\nIf everything goes to plan, you should now have .deb file in your folder. This\ncan then be installed with dpkg or uploaded to an apt repo.\n\n```\ndpkg -i name-of-file.deb\n```\n\nYou can also download an already built deb file from the releases section and\ninstall it in the same way. \n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsh4r10%2Fzen-browser-debian","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsh4r10%2Fzen-browser-debian","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsh4r10%2Fzen-browser-debian/lists"}
