If you want to develop Min:
- Install Node.
- Run
npm install
to install dependencies. - Start Min in development mode by running
npm run start
. - After you make changes, you can press
ctrl+r
(orcmd+r
on Mac) twice to restart the browser.
In order to build Min from source, follow the installation instructions above, then use one of the following commands to create binaries:
npm run buildWindows
npm run buildMac
npm run buildDebian
npm run buildRaspi
(for Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi OS)npm run buildRedhat
Depending on the platform you are building for, you may need to install additional dependencies:
- If you are using macOS and building a package for Linux, install Homebrew, then run
brew install fakeroot dpkg
first. - If you are using macOS or Linux and building a package for Windows, you will need to install Mono and Wine.
Thanks for taking the time to contribute to Min! If you have any questions or run into any problems, please open an issue.
- Start by following the development instructions listed above.
- The wiki has an overview of Min's architecture.
- Min uses the Standard code style; most editors have plugins available to auto-format your code.
- If you see something that's missing, or run into any problems, please open an issue!
- Find the language code that goes with your language from this list.
- In the
localization/languages
directory, create a new file, and name it "[your language code].json". - Open your new file, and copy the contents of the localization/languages/en-US.json file into your new file.
- Change the "identifier" field in the new file to the language code from step 1.
- Inside the file, replace each English string in the right-hand column with the equivalent translation.
- (Optional) See your translations live by following the development instructions above. Min will display in the same language as your operating system, so make sure your computer is set to the same language that you're translating.
- That's it! Make a pull request with your changes.
- Find the language file for your language in the
localization/languages
directory. - Look through the file for any items that have a value of "null", or that have a comment saying "missing translation".
- For each of these items, look for the item with the same name in the
en-US.json
file. - Translate the value from the English file, replace "null" with your translation, and remove the "missing translation" comment.
- Make a pull request with the updated file.
