Installation ------------ Packages required: - Node.js - npm Easiest way to install the lastest required packages on Linux is via nvm. ``` sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl -y ```
``` sudo rm -rf ~/.nvm ``` (Only for update node version)
``` curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | bash ```
``` source ~/.profile ``` (For Debian based distro)
``` source ~/.bashrc ``` (For Fedora / CentOS)
``` nvm ls-remote ``` (Fetch list of available versions)
``` nvm install v20.16.0 ``` (Latest LTS: Iron supported by Electron V32)
``` npm --location=global install npm@10.9.2 ```
Adding via binary package mirror will only work if you have set the package path. You can do a node or java build via ports instead by downloading ports with portsnap fetch method. Verify your installation with ``` node --version ```
- If you have an older installation of npm, please do not forget to update that with ``` npm update -g ``` Clone the main UI repo - ``` git clone https://github.com/Qortal/qortal-ui.git ``` Installation ------------------------ In `qortal-ui` directory, run: ``` npm install ``` Build UI server and files ------------------------- ``` npm run build ``` Start UI Server ( preferred way ) --------------- ``` npm run server & ``` The "&" at the end puts the UI server in the background. Run UI using electron --------------------- ``` npm run start-electron ``` Build script (unix-like systems only) ------------------------------------- To automate the above process, run ./build.sh, optionally specifying the following options: `-s`: run UI server after completing the build
`-e`: run electron server after completing the build
`-w`: use 'npm run watch' instead of 'npm run build', to enable hot swapping
`-h`: show help
Example command to build and run the UI server: ``` ./build.sh -s ```
