Signal-desktop: Doesn't compile on linux

[MikuChan03]

Version 1.40.0 simply doesn't compile on linux following the steps in the contributing wiki page.
Of course I installed git lfs and the obsolte python2, but once I try
yarn install --frozen-lockfile
It says

yarn install v1.22.10

You need to install git-lfs to install our sqlcipher dependency. Once you've done that, remove the node_modules directory, then run yarn cache clean, then try again.
