[question] How to install JupyterLab-desktop on FreeBSD?

[yurivict]

I would like to create the FreeBSD port for JupyterLab-desktop.
The releases page offers binaries for several OSes, but we would like to build/install from source on FreeBSD.

Since this is an Electron-based program, shouldn't in be possible to run it using the Electron executable and a directory of platform-independent files?

electron30-30.5.0 is available on FreeBSD.

Thank you,
Yuri

@yurivict Thank you for opening this issue! You can find the dev documentation here: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop/blob/master/dev.md

You should also be able to read (but not run) the workflows here: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop/tree/master/.github/workflows

If you're able to create and maintain a FreeBSD port for JupyterLab Desktop, we would consider a pull request to add this OS as supported. Thanks again for your contribution!
