# Figma app linux

Unofficial Figma desktop app rebuild for Linux users who want a workaround while official version is released. We <3 Figma :). Note that this app support local-fonts.

Before run the AppImage you may need to install libfontconfig with: `sudo apt-get install libfontconfig-dev`, some distros don't need it.

Link to AppImage [here](https://github.com/carloslfu/figma-app-linux/releases/download/v4/Figma-68.5.0-x86_64-with-icon.AppImage).

## Steps to build

- `npm i`

- `npm run getSrc`

- Relpace `./app/bindings.js` with `./custom/bindings.js` file

- Go to `app/` folder and install font support with `npm i font-manager`

- Go to root folder and run: `npm run electron-rebuild`

    * (If this returns an error, running the command as `sudo` could work)

- Run: `npm run build`

    * (If this returns an error, running the command as `sudo` could work)

- After packaging, the binaries should be in the `dist/` folder

## Install script

You also may build and install Figma app by `./install.sh` in cli.

### What does the install.sh do?

- Clones git repo in `~/figma-app-linux_x64`

- Builds the Figma app by commands writed above in **Steps to build**

- Copies `*.AppImage` to `/usr/bin/`

- Removes source files

- Starts Up the Figma app(don't forget confirm *.AppImage dialog)

``

If you encountered with electron-rebuild error(exit code 255) don't worry. App will be fully assembled.

``

### Tested platform

- OS Manjaro Linux x86_64 *(Archlinux derivative)*

- npm 5.6.0

- node v8.11.2

### Things to do

- Add icon to app

- Add prompt for removing source files

- Fix so issue #14 doesn't occur again
