Make

Follow these instructions if you want to build from scratch

First you will need to have Node and NPM installed, to confirm:

\\> node -v
v14.17.6
\\> npm -v
6.14.15

(above were used for development, exact versions may not be critical)

To begin, clone the repository and open it.

git clone https://github.com/mdkrieg/nodered-portable.git
cd nodered-portable

Then install dependencies using NPM.

npm install

Then, if that completes successfully run the make script.

npm run make

This will save the compiled program to the "./out" directory (creating if needed).

If the above fails you may need to install windows build tools using Administrator Prompt

npm install -g windows-build-tools

For Mac OS or Linux

Currently I have only needed this for Windows but to build for other targets, research Electron Forge (https://www.electronforge.io/), and look into the following configuration in the package.json:

"config": {
  "forge": {
    "make_targets": {
      "win32": [
        "squirrel"
      ]
    },
  ...
  }

These are the "make_targets" listed in the default package.json:

"make_targets": {
  "win32": [
    "squirrel"
  ],
  "darwin": [
    "zip"
  ],
  "linux": [
    "deb",
    "rpm"
  ]
},
