## Installation
|
|
|
|
Download and install the latest release for your platform from the [releases
|
|
page](https://github.com/frappe/books/releases) .
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
Frappe Books is built on Vue.js and Electron. It is offline by default and uses
|
|
a local SQLite file as the database.
|
|
|
|
### Pre-requisites
|
|
|
|
To get the dev environment up and running you need to first set up Node.js version
|
|
16.14.0 and npm. For this, we suggest using
|
|
[nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#installing-and-updating).
|
|
|
|
Next, you will need to install [yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/#mac-stable).
|
|
|
|
### Clone and Run
|
|
|
|
Once you are through the Pre-requisites, you can run the following commands to
|
|
setup Frappe Books for development and building:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# clone the repository
|
|
git clone https://github.com/frappe/books.git
|
|
|
|
# change directory
|
|
cd books
|
|
|
|
# install dependencies
|
|
yarn
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Development
|
|
|
|
To run Frappe Books in development mode (with hot reload, etc):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# start the electron app
|
|
yarn dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note: First Boot**
|
|
|
|
When you run `yarn dev` electron will run immediately but the UI will take a
|
|
couple of seconds to render this because of how dev mode works. Each file is
|
|
individually served by the dev server. And there are many files that have to be
|
|
sent.
|
|
|
|
**Note: Debug Electron Main Process**
|
|
|
|
When in dev mode electron runs with the `--inspect` flag which allows an
|
|
external debugger to connect to port 5858. You can use chrome for this by
|
|
visiting `chrome://inspect` while Frappe Books is running in dev mode.
|
|
|
|
See more [here](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/debugging-main-process#external-debuggers).
|
|
|
|
#### Build
|
|
|
|
To build Frappe Books and create an installer:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# start the electron app
|
|
yarn build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note: Build Target**
|
|
By default the above command will build for your computer's operating system and
|
|
architecture. To build for other environments (example: for linux from a windows
|
|
computer) check the _Building_ section at
|
|
[electron.build/cli](https://www.electron.build/cli).
|
|
|
|
So to build for linux you could use the `--linux` flag like so: `yarn build --linux`.
