Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/1482

Originally assigned to: @LucasXu0 on GitHub.

Description

I've wanted to try out AppFlowy, but first I needed to figure out what dependency it needs to start up. Just executing it, as described in the docs, definetely doesn't work ;-).
I'm using Debian Testing.
Missing libraries on my system were (could be more on other systems):
libkeybinder-3.0-0 libssl1.1

Impact

People just wanting to try out appflowy without trying for a long time out how to get it running.

Additional Context

No response

Have you tried to download a package directly from https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/releases
I’m not sure if the Linux package works for your OS though.

yes I did. As mentioned, I did it exactly as descriped in the install instructions. downloading it from the link you mentioned. decompressing, executing. Doesn-t work. I had to install the above mentioned dependencies. Then it worked

In 0.8.1 the dependency is listed in the package information, however not entirely sure if it auto-installs the dependancy when installing from the .deb package in the releases. Will need to test this.
