Luna Installer

The graphical wrapper around Luna Manager's install command. Built using Qt and Electron.

Building the Installer

Prerequisites

Linux

git
npm
cmake >= 2.8.13
g++ >= 4.8.3
scss lub sassc
statically built qt (instructions are here: statically linked Qt is necessary when you want to distribute the installer. If you just want to run it locally, you can use the system Qt.)
statically build icu (./configure --disable-shared --enable-static --with-data-package=static)
fontconfig >= 2.8 (may be static, although it should be present on most linuxes)
python >=2.7 < 3
psutil (pip install psutil)

Mac OS

git
npm
cmake >= 2.8.13
sassc (or other scss to css compiler)

Windows

This is the path we followed to build the installer, so that it can be portable. You can rely on system libraries if you don't want to distribute the installer).

install msys2, open it and update (pacman -Syu then restart and run pacman -Syu again)
in the msys2 install: git, cmake, make, mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc, mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-static, mingw-w64-x86_64-sassc
mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-static appears to have broken dependencies. You'll need to manually install mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl and mingw-w64-x86_64-jasper
OUTSIDE of msys2 install: python2.7, nodejs, npm, and mt.exe (they are best installed in their default directories)
install psutil (in cmd.exe: C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe install psutil)
install electron-packager (C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.exe install -g electron-packager)
add node to the PATH (unfortunately, the electron-packager doesn't work otherwise). Add export PATH="/c/Program Files/nodejs/:$PATH" to ~/.bashrc inside msys.

Compiling

If not installed in the previous step, you need electron-packager to be visible on the PATH:

sudo npm install -g electron-packager

You need to have the repo cloned on your machine and a separate directory for the build files. It can look like the following:

git clone https://github.com/luna/installer-electron
mkdir build-installer

Moreover, you need to have the Luna Manager repo on your machine and build it:

git clone https://github.com/luna/luna-manager
cd luna-manager
stack install

Let's assume that you have clone the Luna Manager to $LUNA_MANAGER_DIR, the Installer to $INSTALLER_DIR.

Run the following to generate the makefiles:

cmake $INSTALLER_DIR -DCONSOLE_INSTALLER_EXE="$LUNA_MANAGER_DIR/executables/luna_manager" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

If you are using statically linked Qt, remember to add a -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/mingw64/qt-static (on Windows). In general, if the libraries you are using are in non-standard locations, you suuply -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="path1;path2". Analogously, if your Python, npm or sassc are not on your PATH, you add -DPYTHON_EXE="path_to_python", -DNPM_EXE="path_to_npm", -DSASS_EXE="path_to_scss". Additionally, on Windows you can add -DMT_EXE="path_to_mt.exe".

If all passes without error, you simply run:

make

If everything was ok, you should see a folder lunaInstallerApp inside the build-installer folder, containing the executable.
