Thanks for working on the scripts. I have not tested them yet, but they appear high quality and assuming the app runs as it should, I have no issues adding it to Pi-Apps.
I have a few thoughts about the scripts though:

• /home/${USER}/ can be replaced with ~/ when not within ".
• Towards the end you could replace that clunky $? if statement with:

if ! groups $USER | grep -q dialout ;then

• I am assuming this app will receive updates, right? Updates in Pi-Apps will trigger whenever the install script is updated. for an update, it runs the old uninstall script, and then runs the new install-** script. The way you currently have your uninstall script, it will ask permission to delete all cached data during an update. This user prompt will annoy and confuse users during updates. Consider doing what we do elsewhere for other apps:
  • Either leave cache/config data in place, and tell the user where to go to delete it (such as with the Tor Browser)
  • Or check if the uninstall and install-** script was given the update flag in $1, and if so, skip data removal lines with an if statement. (such as in with Better Chromium)

Any chance you can just build debs with https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/package/electron-installer-debian ? You are doing a lot of things manually in these scripts that would just be automated by using that tool to build debs in the first place.

Any chance you can just build debs with https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/package/electron-installer-debian ? You are doing a lot of things manually in these scripts that would just be automated by using that tool to build debs in the first place.

This does not work as electron-installer-debian assumes that everything is in the electron app which for M5Burner isn't as it needs esptool.py from an external packages folder and isn't in the node dependencies (+ nvs and the other python 3 dependencies it needs) and in that case trying to compile it in the root of the folder (which in the root includes the runner script and the M5Burner is all the way in opt) will get you an error saying it can't find the resources folder: Creating package (this may take a while) Error: Could not determine resources directory in Electron app at /home/ximipi5/m5burner/node_modules/electron-installer-common/src/readmetadata.js:44:13 at async /home/ximipi5/m5burner/node_modules/electron-installer-debian/src/installer.js:135:21 at async Promise.all (index 0) at async DebianInstaller.generateDefaults (/home/ximipi5/m5burner/node_modules/electron-installer-debian/src/installer.js:134:42) at async module.exports (/home/ximipi5/m5burner/node_modules/electron-installer-debian/src/installer.js:257:3) Error: Could not determine resources directory in Electron app at /home/ximipi5/m5burner/node_modules/electron-installer-common/src/readmetadata.js:44:13 at async /home/ximipi5/m5burner/node_modules/electron-installer-debian/src/installer.js:135:21 at async Promise.all (index 0) at async DebianInstaller.generateDefaults (/home/ximipi5/m5burner/node_modules/electron-installer-debian/src/installer.js:134:42) at async module.exports (/home/ximipi5/m5burner/node_modules/electron-installer-debian/src/installer.js:257:3)
