Ubuntu16.04install Wechat

It's been a long time since I wrote a blog, and a couple of days ago, my computer couldn't connect to TeamViewer, and the reason showed that it was libqt5gui5version is too low, after some research on updating, I uninstalled libqt5gui5, and its dependency qtbase5-dev, planning to reinstall the new version, but the computer failed to boot after the restart... After struggling in tty for half a day, I was forced to reinstall the system and impulsively installed16.04, I used to use14.04, record the installation process of Wechat, as I forgot to record the previous installation, which led to spending one or two hours configuring various environments this time

Ps: The upgrade issue of TeamViewer has not been resolved yet, and I will continue to troubleshoot when I have time

Some problems that may be encountered during compilation
Firstly, ensure that nodejs and npm are installed !!
If the compilation fails, in the npm folder-debug.log will display error information, and I encountered the problem of too low nodejs and npm versions here
The solution is as follows:

Update ubuntu software source

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties software-properties-common
# Note that there may be an error: The repository ‘http:’//ppa.launchpad.net/chris-lea/node.js/‘ubuntu xenial Release’ does not have a Release file. (Note: I used the latter one and it successfully updated)6version of .x)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js or curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash - 
sudo apt-get update

The repository ‘http://ppa.launchpad.net/chris-lea/node.js/ubuntu ‘xenial Release’ does not have a Release file. The solution to the error is as follows:

From:https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/issues/324

sudo add-apt-repository -y -r ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chris-lea-node_js-*.list

install nodejs

sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt install nodejs-legacy
sudo apt install npm

After installation, continue to compile the source code according to the wiki, and a wechat login box will pop up after successful compilation

After successful compilation, fix WeChat on the desktop

First, package the source code

cd electronic-wechat-master
npm run build:osx
npm run build:linux
npm run build:win32
npm run build:win64

After the packaging is successful, a folder named dist will be generated, click to enter, electronic-wechat is the executable program needed.

Download a WeChat icon image and place it in the folder

# Set the path and icon of wechat
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/wechat.desktop
# Enter the pop-up text, input
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Wechat
Comment=Wechat
Exec=/home/chenchen/electronic-wechat-master/dist/electronic-wechat-linux-x64/electronic-wechat
Icon=/home/chenchen/electronic-wechat-master/dist/electronic-wechat-linux-x64/icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
# Where Exec and Icon point to the executable program and WeChat icon you have successfully packaged, save

Next, enter/usr/share/applications/folder, you will find wechat, drag it to the desktop to fix it.
