Hey!
I have a way to get BllocDesk running on Linux, which works to install it on your phone! Note: this isn’t an official way, it’s just something that I found to work.
Huge thanks to @szymex73 for pointing me in the right direction.
Anyway, this is how you do it:
- Install
electron
(get it through npm or your package manager) and[dmg2dir](https://github.com/X0rg/dmg2dir)
- Download the BllocDesk MacOS .dmg file which you would’ve received a link to in an email with your invitation code
- Open a terminal in the directory of the .dmg file, and run
dmg2dir BllocDesk.dmg
-
cd
into the directory created bydmg2dir
(likelyBllocDesk/
) - From here, navigate to
BllocDesk\ 0.x.x/BllocDesk.app/Contents/Resources
- In this folder there should be an
app.asar
file. Run it with electron, usingelectron app.asar
- And that should be it! BllocDesk should open, and the install process will work as expected when installing on a phone! It will connect to the phone over WiFi afterwards, and all the syncing and everything works as it should!
Note: This won’t bundle it into an ‘app’ for Linux. You’ll need to put in some extra work to get it showing up with an icon in the task bar, or to run it from an application manager without using the terminal, but it should be enough to get you started!
Enjoy!
