Alternatively, you can install the application using one of the following package managers: ### Homebrew ```shell $ brew install iptvnator ``` ### Snap ```shell $ sudo snap install iptvnator ``` ### Arch Also available as an Arch PKG, [iptvnator-bin](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/iptvnator-bin/), in the AUR (using your favourite AUR-helper, .e.g. `yay`) ```shell $ yay -S iptvnator-bin ``` ### Gentoo You can install IPTVnator from the [gentoo-zh overlay](https://github.com/microcai/gentoo-zh) ```shell sudo eselect repository enable gentoo-zh sudo emerge --sync gentoo-zh sudo emerge iptvnator-bin ``` [](https://snapcraft.io/iptvnator) <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/4gray" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn.buymeacoffee.com/buttons/default-green.png" alt="Buy Me A Coffee" width="185"></a> ## Troubleshooting ### macOS: "App is damaged and can't be opened" Due to Apple's Gatekeeper security and code signing requirements, you may need to remove the quarantine flag from the downloaded application: ```bash xattr -c /Applications/IPTVnator.app ``` Alternatively, if the app is located in a different directory: ```bash xattr -c ~/Downloads/IPTVnator.app ``` ### Linux: chrome-sandbox Issues If you encounter the following error when launching IPTVnator: ``` The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755. ``` **Solution 1: Fix chrome-sandbox permissions (Recommended for .deb/.rpm installations)** Navigate to the IPTVnator installation directory and run: ```bash sudo chown root:root chrome-sandbox sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox ``` **Solution 2: Launch with --no-sandbox flag** Edit the desktop launcher file to add the `--no-sandbox` flag: 1. Find your desktop file location: - **Ubuntu/Debian**: `~/.local/share/applications/iptvnator.desktop` - **System-wide**: `/usr/share/applications/iptvnator.desktop` 2. Edit the file and modify the `Exec` line: ``` Exec=iptvnator --no-sandbox %U ``` 3. Save the file and relaunch the application from your application menu. Alternatively, you can launch IPTVnator from the terminal with the flag: ```bash iptvnator --no-sandbox ``` ## How to Build and Develop Requirements: - Node.js with pnpm (via Corepack) 1. Clone this repository and install project dependencies: ``` $ corepack enable $ pnpm install ``` 2. Start the application: ``` $ pnpm run serve:backend ``` This will open the Electron app in a separate window, while the Angular dev server will run at http://localhost:4200. To run only the Angular app without Electron, use: ``` $ pnpm run serve:frontend ``` ## Disclaimer **IPTVnator doesn't provide any playlists or other digital content.** <!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-BADGE:START - Do not remove or modify this section --> [](#contributors) <!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-BADGE:END --> ", Assign "at most 3 tags" to the expected json: {"id":"9814","tags":[]} "only from the tags list I provide: []" returns me the "expected json"
