Hi, we have rn-debugger-linux-x64.zip in the releases page, or have you got any problems about use the Linux binary? Need more information.

We haven't a command yet (like apt) for install the Linux binary, if anyone could contributing it I'll happy to accept.

yes it works with me but i must open the debugger manually , so any workaround to open the debugger automatically like mac ?

Just create a bash file to execute it, place it in usr/local/bin and give it the name of rn-debug and give execution permissions with chmod +x rn-debug ...reset the console and after this you can run the debugger just with the rn-debug comand

@juanlet , hi can you tell on more detail how to create the bash file ?

To create a deb, it would really be easy with https://github.com/unindented/electron-installer-debian
Just

electron-installer-debian  --src build --dest dist --arch amd64

on the current build output

How to install rn-debugger-linux-x64.zip on linux elementary?

[StartupSam]

Really unsure how to proceed with installation on this. I unzipped the file and attempted to open the executable, but nothing happens (a silent exit I think?). Not sure if this is an issue or if I'm doing something wrong.

On the command line, navigate to where you extracted the package and execute it with ./react-native-debugger. You can also add an alias for it in your .bashrc/.bash_profile (or .zshrc if you're using zsh), e.g.

alias rn-debug="~/react-native-debugger/react-native-debugger"
