Green Beans

A personal finance app, designed for simplicity and security.

• Strong encryption and local data only - no need to trust the cloud with your information.
• Open source, so that you can see how it works.
• For Mac and Windows.

FAQ

• Why aren't pre-built binaries available for download?

  Green Beans uses strong encryption, for which there are export restrictions. Unfortunately this means that Green Beans can't be made available for download with the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files included. I'd like to have a way for the user to download and install the JCE policy files separately, but haven't created a feature to do that yet.

Developer Environment

1. Install Ruby
2. Install Java JDK (version 8 or higher)
   • Install Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files
3. Install npm
   • see how to install npm
4. install compass and sass
   • gem install compass or see the compass installation instructions
   • gem install sass or see the sass installation instructions
5. Install grunt and bower
   • npm install -g grunt-cli bower or see the bower installation instructions
6. Windows only: Install the WIX toolset http://wixtoolset.org/

Building

In the project folder:

One time only:

1. cd ui
2. npm install
3. bower install

Then:

1. mvn package

That should result in the following on the console:

application/target/bundles/GreenBeans-0.8.0.dmg
application/target/bundles/GreenBeans-0.8.0.pkg
application/target/bundles/GreenBeans-0.8.0.msi

Note that building the installer has the unfortunate side-effect of causing some windows to open (e.g. a Finder window). If you have any ideas on how to avoid this please comment on issue 3 or consider contributing.
