In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps required to install Isotope Mail, an open-source mail client, on OpenSUSE Latest using the Terminal.
Before installing any new software or package, it's best to ensure that your system is up-to-date. We can update the system by running the following command in the Terminal:
sudo zypper update
Enter your password when prompted and wait for the update to finish.
Isotope Mail requires a few dependencies to be installed on the system before it can be run. Let's install them by running the following command in the Terminal:
sudo zypper install git nodejs12 npm12
The above command installs Git, Node.js 12.x, and NPM 12.x on your system.
Now, we need to clone the Isotope Mail repository from GitHub. Run the following command in the Terminal:
git clone https://github.com/marcnuri/isotope-mail.git
This command will download the code from the Isotope Mail repository to your system.
Now that we have the Isotope Mail code on our system, we can install and build it by running the following commands:
cd isotope-mail
npm install
npm run rebuild
npm run package
The npm install command installs all the required dependencies for Isotope Mail. The npm run rebuild command rebuilds any dependencies that require it. The npm run package command packages the application for distribution.
After building the Isotope Mail package, we can now run it by executing the following command in the Terminal:
./dist/linux-unpacked/isotope-mail
