Beaker is an experimental Browser. It adds new technologies for Peer-to-Peer applications while staying compatible with the rest of the Web. Visit the website.
Please feel free to open usability issues. Join us at #beakerbrowser on Freenode.
Beaker has a handy CLI tool called bkr.
npm install -g bkr

: override the user-data path, therefore changing where data is read/written. Useful for testing.beaker_dat_quota_default_bytes_allowed
: override the default max-quota for bytes allowed to be written by a dat site. Useful for testing.
Tests use their own package.json:
cd tests
npm install
To run:
cd tests
npm test
Requires node 6.2.1. In linux (possibly also OSX) you need libtool, m4, and automake.
sudo apt-get install libtool m4 automake
To build:
git clone https://github.com/pfrazee/beaker.git
cd beaker
npm install
npm run rebuild #see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/5851
npm start
If you pull latest from the repo and get weird module errors, do:
npm run burnthemall
This invokes the mad king, who will torch your node_modules, and do the full install/rebuild process for you.
npm start
should work afterwards.
If you're doing development, npm run watch
to have assets build automatically.
Launching from tmux is known to cause issues with GUI apps in MacOS. On Beaker, it may cause the application to hang during startup.
