Development

  1. Prerequisites:

    • Node.js 6.5.0 (we recommend installing it via nvm)
    • Git
    • Yarn (as a replacement for npm).

  2. Clone this GitHub repository:

    git clone https://github.com/maidsafe/safe_browser.git

  3. Install the dependencies:

    cd safe_browser
yarn

    If you're actively developing, you can run NODE_ENV=dev yarn instead in order to get the safe_client libraries which use the MockVault file rather than connecting to the SAFE Network.

  4. Build the SAFE Browser and open it:

    yarn run build
yarn start

    If you're actively developing, you can use yarn run watch to have assets built automatically when they change.

  5. Package the SAFE Browser for production:

    yarn run package

    The packed SAFE Browser will be found inside dist folder.

Troubleshooting

If you pull the latest from the repo and get weird module errors, try:

yarn run burnthemall

This will remove your node_modules and do the full install, rebuild, build SAFE Authenticator, and package processes for you. After this, yarn start should work again.
