Linux on DeX support

[wilmarques]

I'm trying to setup a development environment using Linux on Dex but I can't install NVS on it.

This is the error I'm facing:

In text mode:

Downloading bootstrap node from https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.12.0/node-v10.12.0-linux-aarch64.tar.xz

Failed to setup node binary.

The first two steps works correctly, as expected.

Based on the output, I think the tar command failed to extract the downloaded archive. Try running this command manually, and you'll probably see a more specific error message:

tar -Jxvf "$NVS_HOME/cache/node-v10.12.0-linux-aarch64.tar.xz" -C "$NVS_HOME/cache" "node-v10.12.0-linux-aarch64/bin/node"

Just tried and this is the output:

xz: (stdin): File format not recognized
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

This is the url NVS is trying to download node:

https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.12.0/node-v10.12.0-linux-aarch64.tar.xz

It seems the system arch wasn't corectly recognized:

linux-aarch64

[wilmarques]

Well, itsn't incorrect, but aarch64 should be treated as arm64.

I'll try to place a PR.

Closing, as PR is merged
