How does it work?

When searching, the app will use iTunes and Last.fm to display song results (with cover, title, artist). It will then try to find the best match for this song on Youtube and stream the highest quality audio stream.

No torrents, completely decentralized.

Dependencies

You will need nodejs and grunt:

$ npm install -g grunt-cli

And ruby with compass to build the stylesheets. Read this for more information.

Running and debugging

Run at least once to install dependencies and generate JS and CSS files.

$ npm install
$ grunt

Run node-webkit from the build/cache directory (--debug always on). Note that grunt build has to be done at least once before this.

$ grunt run

Build

Build with:

$ grunt build

By default it will build for your current platform however you can control that by specifying a comma separated list of platforms in the platforms option to grunt:

$ grunt build --platforms=linux32,linux64,mac,win

You can also build for all platforms with:

$ grunt build --platforms=all

Release

Note: should add some grunt automation here

  1. Update version in /package.json

  2. $ grunt build --platforms=mac or just $ grunt build if you're on a Mac (the generated HipHop.app will be available in /build/releases/HipHop/mac/)

  3. Download latest Windows version of rogerwang/node-webkit#downloads and put all files in /node-webkit/win/*

  4. Open and Build /dist/windows/windows-installer.iss in a Windows environment (requires Inno Setup installed), this will generate /dist/windows/Install HipHop x.x.x.exe. You have your Windows installer!

  5. Upload both files to http://download.gethiphop.net/releases/x.x.x/[mac|win]/

  6. Update /misc/update.json accordingly and upload to http://gethiphop.net/update.json (ONLY when both releases are available for download)
