# Build Instructions for Wave Terminal on Linux
|
|
|
|
These instructions are for setting up the build on Linux (Ubuntu).
|
|
If you're developing on MacOS please use the [MacOS Build Instructions](./BUILD.md).
|
|
If you are working on a different Linux distribution, you may need to adapt some of these instructions to fit your environment.
|
|
|
|
## Running the Development Version of Wave
|
|
|
|
If you install the production version of Wave, you'll see a semi-transparent gray sidebar, and the data for Wave is stored in the directory ~/.waveterm. The development version has a blue sidebar and stores its data in ~/.waveterm-dev. This allows the production and development versions to be run simultaneously with no conflicts. If the dev database is corrupted by development bugs, or the schema changes in development it will not affect the production copy.
|
|
|
|
## Prereqs and Tools
|
|
|
|
Download and install Go (must be at least go 1.18). We also need gcc installed to run a CGO build (for Golang).
|
|
zip is required to build linux deployment packages (not required for running and debugging dev builds).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo snap install go --classic
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install gcc
|
|
sudo apt-get install zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Download and install [ScriptHaus](https://github.com/scripthaus-dev/scripthaus) (to run the build commands):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/scripthaus-dev/scripthaus.git
|
|
cd scripthaus
|
|
CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -o scripthaus cmd/main.go
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll now have to move the built `scripthaus` binary to a directory in your path (e.g. /usr/local/bin):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo cp scripthaus /usr/local/bin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install nodejs and yarn
|
|
|
|
You also need a relatively modern nodejs with npm and yarn installed.
|
|
|
|
Node can be installed from [https://nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org).
|
|
|
|
We use Yarn Modern to manage our packages. The recommended way to install Yarn Modern is using Corepack, a new utility shipped by NodeJS that lets you manage your package manager versioning as you would any packages.
|
|
|
|
If you installed NodeJS from the official feed (via the website or using NVM), this should come preinstalled. If you use Homebrew or some other feed, you may need to manually install Corepack using `npm install -g corepack`.
|
|
|
|
For more information on Corepack, check out [this link](https://yarnpkg.com/corepack).
|
|
|
|
Once you've verified that you have Corepack installed, run the following script to set up Yarn for the repository:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
corepack enable
|
|
yarn install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Clone the Wave Repo
|
|
|
|
Move out of the `scripthaus` directory if you're still in it. Clone the wave repository into the directory that you'd like to use for development.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone git@github.com:wavetermdev/waveterm.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## One-Time Setup
|
|
|
|
Install Wave modules (we use yarn):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
yarn
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Electron also requires specific builds of node_modules to work (because Electron embeds a specific node.js version that might not match your development node.js version). We use a special electron command to cross-compile those modules:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
scripthaus run electron-rebuild
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building WaveShell / WaveSrv
|
|
|
|
cd into the waveterm directory (if you haven't already) and run the build-backend command using `scripthaus`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd waveterm
|
|
scripthaus run build-backend
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This builds the Golang backends for Wave. The binaries will put in waveshell/bin and wavesrv/bin respectively. If you're working on a new plugin or other pure frontend changes to Wave, you won't need to rebuild these unless you pull new code from the Wave Repository.
|
|
|
|
## Running WebPack
|
|
|
|
We use webpack to build both the React and Electron App Wrapper code. They are both run together using:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
scripthaus run webpack-watch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running the WaveTerm Dev Client
|
|
|
|
Now that webpack is running (and watching for file changes) we can finally run the WaveTerm Dev Client! To start the client run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
scripthaus run electron
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To kill the client, either exit the Electron App normally or just Ctrl-C the `scripthaus run electron` command.
|
|
|
|
Because we're running webpack in watch mode, any changes you make to the typescript will be automatically picked up by the client after a refresh. Note that I've disabled hot-reloading in the webpack config, so to pick up new changes you'll have to manually refresh the WaveTerm Client window. To do that use "Command-Shift-R" (Command-R is used internally by Wave and will not force a refresh).
|
|
|
|
## Debugging the Dev Client
|
|
|
|
You can use the regular Chrome DevTools to debug the frontend application. You can open the DevTools using the keyboard shortcut `Cmd-Option-I`.
