I'm trying to install deskgap from scratch on Ubuntu 20.04. but the npm install already fails during the installation script.

This looks like an iussue not just with the system's version but with the sources that throw a 403

same here in windows
i recommend changing title to something like "Installation source returns 403 error"

This is happening because Bintray is sunsetting. I visited https://bintray.com/patr0nus/DeskGap to look for any hints on the 403.

Thanks for supporting Bintray! This service has now been sunset, and to assist with migration to the JFrog Platform, paid accounts can login until July 4th.

download bintray from github release page, and set an env variable which named DESKGAP_DIST_FOLDER to value your bintray folder, not bintray file path
then install deskgap!
enjoy!

is there any other easier way?

[RockyF]

is there any other easier way?

yes, download npm package in release page, and modify install script in package.json, link npm package to your pc, then
install this package.
enjoy!
forgive my poor english!😭

Why is this so difficult? Basically the installation is totally broken and that's the real problem. The solutions above are just weird bandaids. Is this project still active at all?
