⚙️ Installation

Requires Node.js 18+. Use --foreground-scripts to see install progress.

🪟 Windows — Global Install

npm install -g @chahuadev/chahuadev-hub-app --foreground-scripts --force

The installer auto-downloads the correct binary for your platform. Use --foreground-scripts to see the download progress bar.

🐧 Linux — Global Install

Linux requires sudo for global npm packages:

sudo npm install -g @chahuadev/chahuadev-hub-app --foreground-scripts --force

Alternative (no sudo required): Set npm prefix to your home folder first: ``bash mkdir -p ~/.npm-global npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global' echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc ` Then install without sudo: `bash npm install -g @chahuadev/chahuadev-hub-app --foreground-scripts --force ``

Launch

chahuadev-hub

Note: Downloaded apps are saved automatically to your Downloads/ChahuadevHub folder.

🐧 Running the AppImage on Linux / WSL2 (Ubuntu)

First install the required system libraries (one-time setup):

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y \
  libnss3 libatk1.0-0 libatk-bridge2.0-0 libcups2 \
  libdrm2 libxkbcommon0 libxcomposite1 libxdamage1 \
  libxrandr2 libgbm1 libasound2

Then run the AppImage:

chmod +x "Chahuadev-Hub.AppImage"
DISPLAY=:0 WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 \
  ./"Chahuadev-Hub.AppImage" \
  --appimage-extract-and-run --no-sandbox --disable-gpu

WSL2 tip: Copy to WSL native filesystem first: ``bash # Path after: npm install -g @chahuadev/chahuadev-hub-app # (no sudo) cp ~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/@chahuadev/chahuadev-hub-app/bin/Chahuadev-Hub.AppImage /tmp/ChahuadevHub.AppImage # (with sudo) # cp /usr/lib/node_modules/@chahuadev/chahuadev-hub-app/bin/Chahuadev-Hub.AppImage /tmp/ChahuadevHub.AppImage chmod +x /tmp/ChahuadevHub.AppImage DISPLAY=:0 WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 /tmp/ChahuadevHub.AppImage \ --appimage-extract-and-run --no-sandbox --disable-gpu ``

Troubleshooting

node\r: No such file or directory (Linux)

The entry script has Windows line endings (CRLF). Reinstall to fix:

rm -rf ~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/@chahuadev/chahuadev-hub-app
npm install -g @chahuadev/chahuadev-hub-app --foreground-scripts --force

ENOTEMPTY error on Linux

A previous failed install left files behind. Clear them first:

# With npm-global prefix
rm -rf ~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/@chahuadev/chahuadev-hub-app
npm install -g @chahuadev/chahuadev-hub-app --foreground-scripts --force

# With sudo
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/node_modules/@chahuadev/chahuadev-hub-app
sudo npm install -g @chahuadev/chahuadev-hub-app --foreground-scripts --force

chahuadev-hub command not found

Make sure ~/.npm-global/bin is in your PATH:

echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
chahuadev-hub
