You will need nodejs and grunt:

And ruby with compass to build the stylesheets. Read this for more information.

Running and debugging

Run at least once to install dependencies and generate css files.

$ npm install
$ grunt

Run compass in Terminal for CSS compiling and listen to future changes.

$ compass watch --css-dir css

Run node-webkit from the root directory with --debug to enable debugging mode like so

$ node-webkit . --debug

or

$ nw . --debug

Press F12 to display the dev tools. Enjoy!

  • Currently Gaze to watch all files and reload the app is disabled due to memory leaks and instability.

Build

Install the node modules:

Build with:

$ grunt build

By default it will build for your current platform however you can control that by specifying a comma separated list of platforms in the platforms option to grunt:

$ grunt build --platforms=linux32,linux64,mac,win

You can also build for all platforms with:

$ grunt build --platforms=all
