# Figma electron app (unofficial)

Figma-linux is an unofficial [Electron](http://electron.atom.io)-based [Figma](https://figma.com) desktop app for Linux.




















[![Snap](https://snapcraft.io/figma-linux/badge.svg)](https://snapcraft.io/figma-linux)

## Installation
### Universal
You can install Figma-linux from Snap [here.](https://snapcraft.io/figma-linux)

Alternatively, type
```bash
sudo snap install figma-linux
```
in your terminal.

To use local fonts when using the snapd version create a symbolic link:

```
sudo ln -s $HOME/.local/share/fonts $HOME/snap/figma-linux/current/.local/share/
```

There is also an AppImage available.
Get it on our [Releases](https://github.com/Figma-Linux/figma-linux/releases) page, then make it executable and install using these terminal commands:
```bash
chmod +x figma-linux-*.AppImage
sudo ./figma-linux-*.AppImage -i
```
This is not a portable AppImage - it will install figma-linux on your system, after which you can run it from terminal or from your app list.
For more info, execute
```bash
./figma-linux-*.AppImage -h
```

### Debian-based Distros

```bash
sudo dpkg -i figma-linux_*_amd64.deb
```

cd figma-linux
```
2. Install prerequisites from npm:
```bash
npm i
```
To run Figma-linux from npm in dev mode execute this:
```bash
npm run dev
```
Aside from that, you can also run:

- ```npm run dev``` to run the app in development mode
- ```npm run build``` to built the app for production
- ```npm run start``` to run the built version
- ```npm run builder``` to package the app for distribution.
- * The build targets are listed in ```./config/builder.json```. You can remove the ones you don't need or don't have dependencies for.
- ```npm run pack``` to remove old packages from the installer directory, then pack the app.
- * This depends on [AppImageTool](https://appimage.github.io/appimagetool/) being installed.
