How to contribute

Step 0: DO NOT CLONE THIS DIRECTLY OF GITHUB. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS HERE CLEARLY!

Requirements

• NodeJS
• Go
• Typings
• Electron-prebuilt
• Gulp

The last 3 can be installed by running npm install -g typings electron-prebuilt gulp.

Settings up Go correctly, or How to clone a Go project

If you do not already have a setup fully working Go environment and Go workspace, read this: https://golang.org/doc/code.html#Workspace

In short, you need to setup the GOPATH variable, to some folder on your system.

Once you have that setup, get the repository by running go get github.com/zlepper/go-modpack-packer/source/backend. This will fetch the repo and install all go dependencies.

Setup

Fetch all dependencies by running these commands:

npm install
typings install

If you did not install the dependencies by using the go get command above, change to the source/backend directory and run the go get command again.

Build

To build everything run the gulp commmand gulp in the root directory of the repository.

This will build the application and place it in the app directory.

Running

Switch to the app directory and run the command electron . --dev. The --dev flag tells the app to run in dev mode. This way it doesn't check for updates, and also doesn't do some unpacking required when destributing.

This will launch the application.
