Just did a new install of Ubuntu 26.04, and about half of the commands listed here fail because they assumed some package or other was installed. Going thru what I could only guess was the correct order, I installed packages and worked my way thru most of the install, until this: pnpm run init × installing dependencies You need to work on this guide. |

Thanks for the quick reply. I did manage to piecemeal my way thru, but being a Linux newbie was a definite hindrance.I certainly appreciate the time and effort you've taken to help out the clueless. 👍--Sent with mail.com Mail appOn 9/8/26, 5:29 PM lin-bot23 ***@***.***> wrote:

gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make means the build toolchain is missing. pnpm run init compiles native modules (in your log, node-pty) with node-gyp, and a fresh Ubuntu install ships without a compiler. Install the prerequisites and re-run:
sudo apt install build-essential git
rm -rf node_modules
pnpm run init
The other commands that failed earlier were almost certainly the same root cause: a minimal Ubuntu 26.04 image does not include git, curl, or build tools out of the box.
2. The docs are outdated, and a PR is up
The guide also predates the official Linux packages: the Downloads page now ships a .deb (Debian/Ubuntu) and an AppImage, which is the easier path if you do not specifically need a source checkout. I have opened PR #1632 to:
Add build-essential + git to the prerequisites, with the not found: make failure mode documented
Document the official .deb / AppImage install path
Mark Node.js / pnpm as source-build-only requirements
Once that merges, the page should match a fresh Ubuntu install. In the meantime the apt install command above should unblock you.
If anything else fails after installing build-essential, paste the new error and we will take it from there.
