- All the applications share the same library, which, for historical reasons, is in ReactNativeClient/lib. This library is copied to the relevant directories when building each app.
- The translations are built by running CliClient/build-translation.sh. You normally don't need to run this if you haven't updated the translation since the compiled files are on the repository.
brew install yarn node
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gettext/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
If you get a node-gyp related error you might need to manually install it: npm install -g node-gyp
- Install yarn - https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/
- Install node v8.x (check with
node --version) - https://nodejs.org/en/ - If you get a node-gyp related error you might need to manually install it:
npm install -g node-gyp
cd ElectronClient/app
rsync -a ../../ReactNativeClient/lib/ lib/
npm install
yarn dist
If there's an error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, run sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4
That will create the executable file in the dist directory.
From /ElectronClient you can also run run.sh to run the app for testing.
First you need to setup React Native to build projects with native code. For this, follow the instructions on the Get Started tutorial, in the "Building Projects with Native Code" tab.
Then, from /ReactNativeClient, run npm install, then react-native run-ios or react-native run-android.
cd CliClient
npm install
./build.sh
rsync -aP ../ReactNativeClient/locales/ build/locales/
Run run.sh to start the application for testing.
