Development

Requirements and setup

Ensure you have Git, Node 20 or higher, NPM, and Yarn installed on your development machine.

Install repo and packages

Clone the repo and run yarn

git clone [email protected]:scimusmn/stele.git
cd stele
yarn

Run Stele in dev mode

In dev mode the application will not launch full-screen and the Chrome developer console/inspector will automatically display.

To launch in dev mode:

yarn dev

Build production app

If you've made changes to the application and are ready to release a new version, first commit all of your changes to the trunk branch (master).

Test on each OS

You can build the application for each operating system or all of them with:

  • Build for your current OS yarn package
  • Build for macOS explicitly yarn package-mac
  • Build for Windows explicitly yarn package-win
  • Build for all OS'es yarn package-all

These commands will save all of the installers in the release folder.

Test that the application works on each of these OS'es before releasing a new version of the app.

Publish a release

You've tested the app on each OS and you're ready to publish a new version of Stele on our Github page.

Follow these steps in this order to ensure all of the correct assets are created and uploaded to Github.

Bump version number

In package.json, increase the version number by the appropriate level, following semver.

Commit this change and push it to Github.

Create draft release in Github

Draft a new Github release.

In the Choose a tag dropdown, enter the same version number from the package.json, but prepend it with a v. E.g., if your version number is 4.5.23 in package.json, then the release version number should be v4.5.23.

Enter a descriptive title for the release following this template: stele v4.5.23 - Very short high level description of the release
