Zulip server not working in Linux Mint

[laluprasa...@gmail.com]

I am a little confused about zulip-electron, it seems it requires a zulip-server to run locally.

I followed the steps given in this page https://zulip.org/server.html , but i guess server is not made for Linux mint yet.

I want to contribute to electron app , but is not able to setup the server.

Kindly someone help and tell me how to run the electron app , so that i can start developing.

Thank You

Few things - 

 - You don't need to setup Zulip locally to use zulip-electron. 

 - localhost is not supported yet see- https://github.com/zulip/zulip-electron/issues/78.

 - Please use https://chat.zulip.org as a Server URL.

 - Sign up here https://chat.zulip.org and join electron stream.
