Getting going

Prerequisites

• Node 8.9.4 definitely works
• Python 2.7 (not 3+) (for gyp)

Building

npm install
npm test # should have all tests passing

Set an environment variable called PYTHON to the location of the Python 2.7 executable

$(npm bin)/electron-rebuild

Or if you're on Windows:

.\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd

Start the program by running

npm start

Debugging

To debug in the app, press ctrl + shift + I. You can then browse the HTML files and javascript files, and set breakpoints.

Here is a couple of VSCode debug configs which debug the Electron Main and the tests.
