Although other Linux distributions can also be easily supported. NodeGui currently only supports 64bit OS. NodeGui can technically support lower versions of Linux than mentioned here provided gcc >= v7 and libc version >= GLIBC_2.25 **Requirements:** - Python 2.x , Make, GCC v7 - Currently supported Node.Js versions are 12.x and up. - Make sure you dont have spaces inside your home path. NodeGYP has issues with spaces in the path. https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/209 -- It is advisable to do: `On Ubuntu: $ sudo apt-get install pkg-config build-essentials` +- On Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based distros it is advisable to run `sudo apt-get update`, followed by `sudo apt-get install pkg-config build-essential` We strongly suggest you use some kind of version manager for Node.Js. This would allow you to switch to any version of nodejs quite easily. We recommend `nvm`: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm
