Getting Started

If you're comfortable getting up and running from a git clone, this method is for you.

If you clone the GitHub repository, you will need to build a number of assets using grunt.

The master branch which contains the latest release.

Quickstart:

gulp run

If you encounter trouble with the above method, you can try:

npm install -g bower gulp (Linux: you may need to run with sudo)
npm install
bower install
gulp build
gulp run

Optionally, you may simply run ./make_popcorn.sh if you are on a linux or mac based operating system.

Versioning

For transparency and insight into our release cycle, and for striving to maintain backward compatibility, Popcorn Time will be maintained according to the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible.

Releases will be numbered with the following format:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>-<build>

Constructed with the following guidelines:

A new major release indicates a large change where backward compatibility is broken.
A new minor release indicates a normal change that maintains backward compatibility.
A new patch release indicates a bugfix or small change which does not affect compatibility.
A new build release indicates this is a pre-release of the version.
