Not on debian, Fedora or openSUSE, how to install

Thanks for this great software.

When I was on Ubuntu, this worked swiftly. However I migrated to solus some months ago and I wonder:

  • Are there instructions to generate generic binaries, appimages or snap packages for this?
commented

For generic Linux binaries, you can do the following:

  1. run build.sh but skip package-[TYPE].sh
  2. copy the directory "build/build-[NOTION VERSION]-[REVISION]-[ARCHITECTURE]/notion-desktop-linux-[ARCHITECTURE] into a location of your choice
  3. use the notion-desktop binary inside that directory to launch Notion (you could create your own .desktop entry for this if you like)

Unfortunately this won't work for notion-enhanced due to the way it loads modules from a hardcoded directory - you can have a look at notion-enhancer/notion-enhancer/issues/321 to see progress on that front.

For Snap, you can use notion-snap - this isn't maintained by me and doesn't include Notion Enhancer mods, so I cannot provide assistance, but if you don't care about enhancements then this should be fine.

I'm not aware of any AppImage versions and not sure how to do this off the top of my head, but this could be possible if enough people are interested - however it seems most people are using Ubuntu so I'm not sure if I will implement this in the short term.

Hope that helps :)

Actually, for notion-enhanced, if you modify this line of enhance.sh so that it points to wherever you plan to put the notion-enhanced-linux-[ARCHITECTURE] directory, then it should hopefully work - so the full steps would be:

  1. run build.sh
  2. modify that line of enhance.sh so that /usr/lib/notion-enhanced instead points to X
  3. run enhance.sh
  4. copy the directory "build/build-[NOTION VERSION]-[REVISION]-[ARCHITECTURE]/notion-enhanced-linux-[ARCHITECTURE] into a location of your choice (X)
  5. use the notion-enhanced binary inside that directory to launch Notion

This is already more than enough help, thank you so much! Will try these instructions.

Just some feedback, your instructions are totally correct. Worked first time. Thanks.
