Running from sources
Running the app from the sources slightly differs from using prebuilt binaries: we'll build and launch the app with npm (node package manager).
Requirements#
Run from sources#
Download
git clone https://github.com/jean-emmanuel/open-stage-control
cd open-stage-control/
# uncomment next line if you want the latest release
# instead of the current development version
# git checkout $(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`)
npm install
npm run build
Updating from sources
git pull
npm install
npm run build
Run
npm start [ -- options]
A double hyphen (--) is used here to tell npm that the options are to be passed to the app.
Build documentation#
In order to make the local documentation available through the server's --docs option and the launcher's Documentation menu action, an extra step is needed.
# install docs website theme
python3 -m pip install mkdocs-material
# build docs website
npm run build-docs
Package from sources#
git clone https://github.com/jean-emmanuel/open-stage-control
cd open-stage-control/
# uncomment next line if you want the latest release
# instead of the current development version
# git checkout $(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`)
# TARGET_PLATFORM can be linux, win32 (windows) or darwin (os x)
export PLATFORM=TARGET_PLATFORM
# TARGET_ARCH can be ia32, x64, armv7l or arm64
export ARCH=TARGET_ARCH
npm install
# run this instead if ARCH is armv7l
# npm install --arch=armv7l
npm run build
npm run package
# Do one of the following if you want a deb package for debian/ubuntu
npm run deb32
npm run deb64
npm run debarm
# The node-only package can be built with
npm run package-node
This will build the app in dist/open-stage-control-PLATFORM-ARCH.
Building the app for windows from a linux system requires wine to be installed.
