Portable Linux (.AppImage) packaging for Helium.
This repo is based on ungoogled-chromium-portablelinux and modified for Helium. Huge shout-out to everyone behind ungoogled-chromium, they made working with Chromium infinitely easier.
Big thank you to Depot for sponsoring our runners, which handle the Linux builds of Helium. Their high-performance infrastructure lets us compile, package, and release new builds of Helium within hours, not days.

Any content imported from other projects retains its original license (for example, any original unmodified code imported from ungoogled-chromium remains licensed under their BSD 3-Clause license).
To build the binary, run scripts/docker-build.sh from the repo root.
The scripts/docker-build.sh script will:
- Create a Docker image of a Debian-based building environment with all required packages (llvm, nodejs and distro packages) included.
- Run
scripts/build.shinside the Docker image to build Helium.
Running scripts/build.sh directly will not work unless you're running a Debian-based distro and have all necessary dependencies installed. This repo is designed to avoid having to configure the building environment on your Linux installation.
After building, run scripts/package.sh. Alternatively, you can run package/docker-package.sh to build inside a Docker image.
Either of these scripts will create tar.xz and AppImage files under build/.
By default, the build script uses tarball. If you need to use a source tree clone, you can run scripts/docker-build.sh -c instead. This may be useful if a tarball for a release isn't available yet.
