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.

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
