Currently, it is not recommended to run the studio on its own. Therefore, you must start the Botpress Server, which will provide a couple of required parameters so the studio can work smoothly with the server.
We use Yarn v3 in this repository, so if you have errors while trying to build the repository, ensure you have the latest version installed: npm install -g yarn
yarn
yarn build
yarn watch
to start a watcher on both the backend and frontendyarn package
to generate a single executable file for every available OSLike before, any changes made on the frontend will be available after a simple page refresh. Changes on the backend will require a server restart.
Since this package MUST be started from the Botpress Server, you need to set a special environment variable on the server so it can load the correct files.
The variable is named DEV_STUDIO_PATH
and must point to packages/studio-be/out
. Watch out, path must be an abs path, env var doesn't support relative path.
The studio can be executed as a standalone application, but there are still a couple of things that will not work correctly.
When started as a standalone, these environment variables must be set:
yarn release <type>
where type can be major, minor or patch
