# The Next Wave
To build you need to have wails3 installed. You need to check out the repo, switch to the `v3-alpha` branch, then install the `wails3` command. you should also install the "task" command (wails3 uses a Taskfile.yml file).
Prereqs:
Install task:
You'll need to install "task" (which we're using as a build/run system):
```
brew install go-task/tap/go-task
brew install go-task
```
Install wails3:
On first checkout:
```
git clone git@github.com:wailsapp/wails.git
cd wails
git checkout v3-alpha
cd v3/cmd/wails3
go install
yarn
go mod tidy
```
To test if wails3 is installed correctly you can run `wails3 doctor` (it should say "success" at the bottom).
Now, this directory must live as a sibling to `thenextwave` repo (because we have a special replace directive in the go.mod file).
To run the app, you'll first need to run the webpack watcher:
```
# move back to the *parent* directory of your wails clone
git clone git@github.com:wavetermdev/thenextwave.git
cd thenextwave
task webpack
```
Now to run the dev version of the app:
Then, in a separate terminal, this command will run the electron app:
```
wails3 dev
task electron
```
You should see the app!
Now to build a MacOS application:
```
task build
task create:app:bundle
```
now in your `./bin` directory you should see `bin/NextWave` (a standalone executable), and you'll also see `bin/NextWave.app` which is a MacOS application. You can run `bin/NextWave` directly, or run the app using `open bin/NextWave.app` (or click on it in the finder).
