VII. Plugins Downloads

not necessary, just for some advanced users.

• kcptun

  • effect: Use the plugin for ss server speed up. You must install it on you system first and enable it on ss server configuration.
  • ↪ kcptun repo releases
  • install: Download a certain version plugin, unpack and rename it to kcptun, then put the file into system dir (such as /usr/bin/) on unix like systems. OR you may put the file into plugins dir on Windows (check "Open Plugins Directory" button from settings page).

• v2ray-plugin

  • effect: Use the plugin for traffic obfuscation. You must install it on you system first and enable it on ss server configuration.
  • ↪ v2ray-plugin repo releases
  • install: Download a certain version plugin, unpack and rename it to v2ray-plugin, then put the file into system dir (such as /usr/bin/) on unix like systems. OR you may put the file into plugins dir on Windows (check "Open Plugins Directory" button from settings page).

VIII. Recommended ACL Files

1. Download ACL file and saved it to local directory.

>> Github repo - SuperAcl

• inchina.acl: Proxy only sites blocked by the firewall.
• inforeign.acl: Proxy the sites in china which restricted access to overseas.

2. Enable ACL Mode and load the file on settings page of client.

IX. Why?

• The official qt-version app - shadowsocks-qt5 has been deprecated, which has an old interface but still working.

• Only Shadowsocks-libev and Shadowsocks for Android support ACL (bypass China IPs, etc.)

  This project was heavily inspired by shadowsocks/ShadowsocksX-NG, which uses local Shadowsocks-libev binary to avoid complex integration with native C code. This means it can always use the latest Shadowsocks-libev version.

It also uses Electron to bring the most powerful cross-platform desktop support with great developing experience.

X. Development

1. Env

• Node@^14.18
• Ubuntu18.04 or higher version
• Mac catalina or other versions (works in most recent versions in theory)
• Windows 10 or higher version

2. Prepare

The step is not necessary, there are some buildin ssr/ss executable files provided in bin dir, Only do this when you want to use external bin for test/dev.

• Mac developers need to install shadowsocks-libev at first, use command here: brew install shadowsocks-libev. For china users, if brew is not installed, run this in terminal: /bin/zsh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gitee.com/cunkai/HomebrewCN/raw/master/Homebrew.sh)" to install brew.
• Ubuntu developers can install shadowsocks-libev with apt manager.

# for ubuntu developers
$: sudo apt install shadowsocks-libev
$: sudo snap install multipass
# for mac developers
$: brew install shadowsocks-libev

# proxy env set (if your local machine support)
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:<port>
export HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:<port>

3. Run commands in terminal

# [01]clone
$: git clone https://github.com/nojsja/shadowsocks-electron.git
$: cd shadowsocks-electron

# for china developers
$: npm config set electron_mirror http://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/

# [02]npm
$: npm i -g yarn
$: npm i

# [03]run scripts/download.js for env prepare
$: cd scripts
$: node download.js

# for ubuntu developers
$: cp pac/gfwlist.txt ~/.config/shadowsocks-electron/pac/
# for mac developers
$: cp pac/gfwlist.txt ~/Library/Application\ Support/shadowsocks-electron/pac/

# [04]start
$: npm start

XI. Mention

The repo is cloned from robertying/shadowsocks-electron which is no longer maintained. I create a new repo based on that in order to be found in github search list.
