Description
A Linux compatible version of OneNote.
Main Features
P3X OneNote Linux is, actually, an independent browser window for the online OneNote. You can use this program without having to clutter your browser. The main functions are:
- that is independent from any browser, as it works in it's own process
- it provides a tray, that allows you to close your browser while it keeps running in the tray
- the data is cached and is faster than always opening a new window
- it allows you to sign in with the corporate or the personal login
- when there is a new update, it auto updates itself
- the program allows to use other Microsoft online applications, but the dedicated purpose is to use OneNote

- The language for OneNote is managed by Microsoft; efforts are made to support multiple languages through the Electron UI:
- Language translation resources are available at:
- Support for multiple instances is available, though with limitations:
- Configuration synchronization issues may arise when running multiple instances simultaneously. To avoid discrepancies, configure using a single instance, exit, and then initiate multiple instances.

It was a request to build a Windows version. Issue 168
MacOS Compatibility
Our application supports builds for both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures.
<!-- ### Handling Downloaded Files from GitHub Although I'm not an Apple expert, if you download the `zip` file for the `arm64` version, you'll need to execute the following command on the unzipped app to remove the quarantine attribute applied by macOS: ```bash sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine P3X-OneNote.app ``` This command ensures that your system trusts the application, allowing it to run smoothly without security interruptions from macOS. --> <!-- If you want to install it on NodeJs instead of the AppImage, it is deprecated, but available [here](https://github.com/patrikx3/onenote/blob/c78e77c540e21b89e0e063cd50a10707faae722e/README.md#cli-install) ## Important Note Check the ```Keep me signed in``` checkbox when entering your password then choose any page (but not a notebook) after logging in. This will keep you logged in. **Do not install this app using the Command Line Interface (CLI) as it is deprecated** The ```CLI``` installation does not always work due the updating of Linux distros. Is is possible the ```configstore``` only works with ```sudo```, so use the ```released``` ```AppImage``` instead! Installation of ```NodeJs``` is not necessary since the ```AppImage``` includes all dependencies. ```bash # If this weird NPM error is encountered, do the following: node -v # make sure the node version is above 8.9.0 sudo npm install -g p3x-onenote --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root p3x-onenote ``` Logout and relogin, and a menu will now appear. -->If you are a NodeJs Ninja
You want to install via NPM...
Change log
<!-- # Issues #### Corporate login The corporate login is unstable, either it works or not. Only the personal account that I can provide some minimal support. #### Suspend/Sleep/Wake up I recognized, that after suspend/sleep and then wake up, the app is not saving the pages anymore. For now, the solution is, that after wake up, restart the app. #### Not working on SNAP on some versions Usually, on stable distros are working with SNAP, but usually non stable Linux distros could not work. Please, try using the `AppImage`, that is usually better than SNAP. #### Error in auto-updater: Redirect was cancelled Sometimes, you get an `AppImage` error for update, just download the latest release and replace the `AppImage` from here: https://github.com/patrikx3/onenote/releases #### Rasberry and ARM is experimental I have no ARM computer to test it out, I could build `AppImage` on ARM, but I have no idea if has an error, it crashes or it works. #### Tray issues It is possible, that the tray is not working, it is an upstream issue! #### Not loading the pages / freezes Sometimes, it is possible, that OneNote Online does not load properly or freezes, the solutions is to quit and start the program again. (I know, you won't like it at all! 😡) ## Unable to log in This only happens if you kill ```P3X OneNote Linux``` and then relogin many times. So, If the program needs to be killed often, ```sign out``` (on the top right of the Electron browser frame) just to be safe. ### BUT! **Exiting using ```quit``` from the ```p3x-onenote``` menu or the tray, will prevent the problem.** #### Online OneNote Change language Although the main page's language can be changed, it reverts back when an actual page is accessed. This is being investigated. https://github.com/patrikx3/onenote/issues/14 #### Electron problem 🐞 Since Electron v3, the tray left click is executing as the right click, Electron bug. https://github.com/patrikx3/onenote/issues/38 #### Fedora https://github.com/patrikx3/onenote/issues/3#issuecomment-312711801 -->Development
For file names do not use camelCase, but use kebab-case. Folder should be named as kebab-case as well. As you can see, all code filenames are using it like that, please do not change that.
Please apply the .editorconfig settings in your IDE.
For generating rpm on Ubuntu distro, you can use:
sudo apt-get install rpm
If you try to build the app with NPM, you have to change from electron devDependencies to dependencies, this is because it is created to be able to run this app from AppImage instead of an NPM.
