The PhET Development Overview is the most complete guide to PhET Simulation Development. This guide includes how to obtain simulation code and its dependencies, notes about architecture & design, how to test and build the sims, as well as other important information.
(1) Clone the simulation and its dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/assert.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/axon.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/babel.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/brand.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/capacitor-lab-basics.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/chipper.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/dot.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/joist.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/kite.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/perennial.git perennial-alias
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/phet-core.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/phetcommon.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/phetmarks.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/query-string-machine.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/scenery.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/scenery-phet.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/sherpa.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/sun.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/tambo.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/tandem.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/twixt.git
git clone https://github.com/phetsims/utterance-queue.git
(2) Install dev dependencies:
cd chipper
npm install
cd ../perennial-alias
npm install
cd ../capacitor-lab-basics
npm install
(3) Transpile the TypeScript code to JavaScript by running grunt output-js-project --live
. This starts a file-watching process that will automatically transpile
new or changed files.
(4) In a new terminal/command prompt, start an http-server
(5) Open in the browser: http://localhost/capacitor-lab-basics/capacitor-lab-basics_en.html
(You will probably need to modify this
URL based on your HTTP port and relative path.)
(1) Change directory to the simulation directory: cd ../capacitor-lab-basics
(2) Build the sim: grunt --brands=adapted-from-phet
. It is safe to ignore warnings
like >> WARNING404: Skipping potentially non-public dependency
, which indicate that non-public PhET-iO code is not
being included in the build.
(3) Open in the
browser: http://localhost/capacitor-lab-basics/build/adapted-from-phet/capacitor-lab-basics_en_adapted-from-phet.html
(You will
probably need to modify this URL based on your HTTP port and relative path.)
