Livebook Desktop support for Ubuntu Linux

[Enuzo]

It'll be nice to have a livebook_desktop.deb for Debian variants like Ubuntu. As anyone succeeded in porting one yet?

[gevera]

I believe it will be useful to have it not only as deb, but rpm or even better as a flatpak package, so it could be installed on any Linux platform. Anyways, it is a shame that Linux users are left out for now from Livebook

I don't believe there is. Please give it a shot!

Super, then I'll get on it myself.

@eslksw oh, before I forget, there is some relevant discussion here: #1374 (comment)

Is their some where i can get help setting up livebook on linux?
Livebook failed to start with reason: {:os_mon, {~c"no such file or directory", ~c"os_mon.app"}}
Is this issue with the install? PS I would love a desktop linux install

Some package managers break Erlang into multiple distributions, so you need to install additional packages. Look for something with Erlang and os mon in the name. :)

I dont know what else the desktop livebook for mac or windows provide, but i just run livebook server and it runs, of course i first installed liveview in ubuntu
What do i am missing?

A “one-click” installer, a “system tray” icon, and associating livebook:// URLs & .livemd files with the app.

Thanks
Package: erlang-os-mon (1:22.2.7+dfsg-1ubuntu0.2 and others) [security]
Why would they do that?
