How to build:

• Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed on your system
• Linux Depends: sudo apt install -y build-essential python3 libvips-dev fakeroot dpkg
• Clone the repository and open a Git Bash/Terminal within the repo root
• Run: corepack enable as admin
• Run: yarn install
• Run: yarn run start to open a test build
• AND/OR Run: yarn run dist to build an final executable for your system
• Check the "dist" folder for your new exe/app

NOTE: Some Node installers (like MacPorts) don't have corepack if that's the case do node .yarn/releases/yarn-3.6.3.cjs start etc instead

Legacy Build Notes

Newer node builds for legacy systems:

• NodeJS 24 for Mac 10.9+ - https://github.com/Wowfunhappy/Node-24-Mavericks
• NodeJS 20 for Windows 7 - https://github.com/vladimir-andreevich/node.js-windows-7

Edit package.json versions to these numbers for legacy builds:

• Mac OSX 10.13 (NodeJS 24.6.0) - electron 26.6.10, sharp 0.32.6 - dmg will fail, zip build works - run "install/dist" as sudo (for some reason)
• Windows 7 (NodeJS 20.19.2) - electron 22.3.27, sharp 0.32.6, electron-builder 24.13.3 - run as Admin NodeJS command prompt

Nekoweb Node

Basic nekoweb support exists in this project, but their API is just not developed enough to make it easy to finish, plus I dont use nekoweb! So if anyone wants to finish support for NW, feel free to do it and issue a pull request!

Troubleshooting:

JavaScript Error related to the "sharp" package:

• Linux users: Run apt install libvips before trying to run the AppImage
