How to Install

Go to https://github.com/zaki-yama/chatter-desktop/releases and download .dmg file of the latest version.

Note: For Mac users only. For users of other OS, please package by yourself by reading Development and Packageing section.

Development

• Note: requires a node version >= 7 and an npm version >= 4.

First, clone the repo via git:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/zaki-yama/chatter-desktop.git

And then install dependencies with yarn.

$ cd chatter-desktop
$ yarn

Note: If you can't use yarn, run npm install.

Run

Start the app in the dev environment. This starts the renderer process in hot-module-replacement mode and starts a webpack dev server that sends hot updates to the renderer process:

$ yarn dev

Alternatively, you can run the renderer and main processes separately. This way, you can restart one process without waiting for the other. Run these two commands simultaneously in different console tabs:

$ yarn start-renderer-dev
$ yarn start-main-dev

Packaging

To package apps for the local platform:

$ yarn package

To package apps for all platforms:

First, refer to Multi Platform Build for dependencies.

Then,

$ yarn package-all

💡 You can debug your production build with devtools by simply setting the DEBUG_PROD env variable:

DEBUG_PROD=true yarn package
