A simple photo editor built with Angular 2 and electron. It allows you to upload/drag-and-drop images, apply filters to them, and save them to your desktop.
You will need to have Git and Node.js (5.x and above) + NPM (3.x and above). We generally suggest installing NVM to manage Node versions. Once those are installed, you will need to install the typings NPM package globally. Typings handles the typescript definition files for our application.
First you will need to clone the repo; then you can install the necessary NPM packages and run the app.
# Clone the repo and enter it
git clone https://github.com/onehungrymind/electrogram.git
cd electrogram
# Install dependencies
npm i
# Install type definitions
typings install
# To build only
npm run build
# To build and watch for changes
npm run watch
# Start the Electron app
npm start # runs "electron src"We've included an NPM script that will build a distribution version of the app for OSX. To use it, execute npm run distribute; this will create an OSX app in releases/Electrogram-darwin-x64 that you can run from your Finder.
