Compile from source

Prerequisites

To compile from source, you need to install the following software:

• Git
• Go
• Node

Acquire source code

To acquire source code, clone it using Git. Open a terminal window and use the git command.

$ git clone https://github.com/hydrui/hydrui.git
...
$ cd hydrui

Install Node.JS dependencies

The Node.JS dependencies will be needed for compiling the frontend portion of the application.

$ npm i
...
$

Build frontend

You can now build the frontend portion of Hydrui.

$ npm run generate:pack

After a couple minutes, this should finish. Asset compression may take longer depending on your CPU.

Build server

You can now build the server.

$ go build -o hydrui-server ./cmd/hydrui-server

It is also possible to cross-compile the server. For example, here's how you can make a build for Windows:

$ GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o hydrui-server.exe ./cmd/hydrui-server

On PowerShell (for example, under Windows), the syntax is a little different.

PS> $Env:GOOS="linux"
PS> $Env:GOARCH="amd64"
PS> go build -o hydrui-server.bin ./cmd/hydrui-server

Run server

You can now run the server. Check out the Run locally instructions for more information.
