Downloading backend and setting up environment

Backend will be automatically downloaded as frontend's dependency.

export GOPATH=~/golang
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$GOPATH/src/github.com/limetext/rubex

#GET THE BACKEND Use the go source-code controller to get the lime-backend source

go get github.com/limetext/lime-backend/lib/...

If you have various other go packages on your machine, it's possible that your local copies of those libraries are stale and need to be updated. If that's the case, add the -u flag to update all the dependencies.

go get -u github.com/limetext/lime-backend/lib/...

You also need to init and update all the submodules which isn't done automatically by go get.

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/limetext/lime-backend
git submodule update --init --recursive

It will take a while, as it has to update all the submodules. ###Testing Now make sure it all installed correctly by running the tests.

go test github.com/limetext/lime-backend/lib/...

#Getting the FRONTENDS Lime text frontends comes in three variants :

• QML - The QT Modelling Language
• HTML - Browser based text editor
• TERMBOX - Vim like terminal based text editor

#QML

###Getting the QML To run the QML frontend, you'll also need Qt 5 installed. Go get the QML frontend.

go get github.com/limetext/lime-qml/main/...

Similar to the backend, there is a step to update all the modules.

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/limetext/lime-qml
git submodule update --init --recursive

###Building the QML Frontend To build the QML Frontend,

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/limetext/lime-qml/main
go build
./main

By now there should be a lime-text window, with the file main.go open

#HTML

###Getting the HTML Go get the HTML frontend.

go get github.com/limetext/lime-html/main/...

Again update all the submodules,

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/limetext/lime-html
git submodule update --init --recursive

###Building the HTML Frontend To build and run the html frontend,

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/limetext/lime-html/main
go build
./main

The port 8080 at the localhost is being listened, Point your browser to localhost:8080 :

#Termbox

###Getting the TERMBOX Go get the termbox frontend.

go get github.com/limetext/lime-termbox/main/...

And again,

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/limetext/lime-termbox
git submodule update --init --recursive

###Building the Termbox Frontend To build and run:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/limetext/lime-termbox/main
go build
./main main.go
