An extensive guide for using Block Keeper is available here.
A precompiled version of Block Keeper for Windows, MacOS and Linux is available here.
You can edit Block Keeper's source in a couple of ways.
Block Keeper uses Github's Electron and the source is available to view or change in every copy.
On Windows and Linux, the source is available in the resources folder. On MacOS you will need to view the package contents to find the resources folder.
To test your code, just run the application.
However, I don't recommend this method past making very small changes as it doesn't provide much flexibility.
Once you download the source from Github. Navigate to the downloaded folder using the command line and run the setup script. You will need npm installed. All scripts use bash.
./setup
This will download and install the required packages, it may take some time to install everything.
Once that has finished use the start script to run and test the current source.
./start
Use the export script to create a standalone application. You can edit the script to add or change options. For more options for exporting see here. By default, the script will create an application for your current platform.
./export
A debug console is available to use for debugging and other purposes. In the titlebar select Window > Toggle Dev Tools.
