Support for FreeBSD

[almostunix]

Hi,

I use FreeBSD with Wayland/KDE Plasma for desktop.

Was trying to follow the setup steps for Linux (I realize FreeBSD differs from Linux but thought it might still work... unfortunately it hangs during the "yarn install" step.

It specifically fails at node_modules/electron with exit code 1

Appropriate versions of Node, yarn and python were installed prior to attempting to setup Cider.

Any help is much appreciated, happy to provide screenshots or follow troubleshooting steps as needed.

Our module from castlabs does not support FreeBSD at this time, id suggest contacting them about it. https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases

Thanks for the quick reply, that makes a lot of sense given where it got hung up.

[almostunix]

what version of electron is required for Cider to work correctly?

[cryptofyre]

Anything between 16.0.7-18.2.0 has been confirmed working. 18.2.0 being the one we use.

Thanks. I have access to 16.0.9 for FreeBSD so I will see how I can incorporate that instead of the included one that is not supported yet on my OS.

Thanks again.

Rejecting due to missing DRM support.
