## Developing
|
||
|
||
Development on Insomnia can be done on Mac, Windows, or Linux as long as you have
|
||
[NodeJS](https://nodejs.org) and [Git](https://git-scm.com/). See the `.nvmrc` file located in the project for the correct Node version.
|
||
|
||
<details>
|
||
<summary>Initial Dev Setup</summary>
|
||
|
||
This repository is structured as a monorepo and contains many Node.JS packages. Each package has
|
||
its own set of commands, but the most common commands are available from the
|
||
root [`package.json`](package.json) and can be accessed using the `npm run ...` command. Here
|
||
are the only three commands you should need to start developing on the app.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Install and Link Dependencies
|
||
npm run bootstrap
|
||
|
||
# Run Tests
|
||
npm test
|
||
|
||
# Start App with Live Reload
|
||
npm run app-start
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you are on Linux, you may need to install the following supporting packages
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Update library
|
||
sudo apt-get update
|
||
|
||
# Install font configuration library & support
|
||
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig-dev
|
||
sudo apt-get install font-manager
|
||
|
||
# Build capability for required font-scanner package
|
||
sudo apt-get install build-essential
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Also on Linux, if Electron is failing during the bootstrap process, run the following
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Clear Electron install conflicts
|
||
rm -rf ~/.cache/electron
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you are on Windows and have problems, you may need to install [Windows Build Tools](https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools)
|
||

|
||
