Linux Release

BenchLocal can be packaged for Linux as:

• AppImage for direct download and execution
• tar.gz as a secondary portable archive

Current release target:

• x64

Build from the repo root:

cd BenchLocal
npm run build:linux

Or build all release artifacts from the repo root:

npm run release:all

Artifacts are written to:

• app/dist/

Expected outputs:

• BenchLocal-<version>-linux-x64.AppImage
• BenchLocal-<version>-linux-x64.tar.gz

Notes:

• no Linux developer account is required for direct distribution
• code signing is optional for the first Linux release path
• verifier-backed Bench Packs still require Docker installed and running on the target machine
• Linux validation should be done on a real Linux machine before release
