# Building Wave Terminal
|
|
|
|
These instructions are for setting up dependencies and building Wave Terminal from source on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
### OS-specific dependencies
|
|
|
|
#### macOS
|
|
|
|
You will need macOS 10.15 or later to build and run Wave.
|
|
|
|
macOS does not have any platform-specific dependencies.
|
|
|
|
#### Linux
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have a recent install of GCC and Zip.
|
|
|
|
Debian:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apt install build-essential zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Fedora:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo dnf install make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Arch:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo pacman -S base-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
|
|
You will need a 64-bit, somewhat-recent version of Windows to build and run Wave (Windows 10 1809 or later).
|
|
|
|
You will need the GNU build toolchain installed in order for Go to work on Windows. In most cases, this requires installing MinGW-w64.
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to install this is using MSYS2: https://www.msys2.org/
|
|
|
|
If you prefer an alternative method, you can find other methods here: https://www.mingw-w64.org/downloads/
|
|
|
|
### Task
|
|
|
|
Download and install Task (to run the build commands): https://taskfile.dev/installation/
|
|
|
|
Task is a modern equivalent to GNU Make. We use it to coordinate our build steps. You can find our full Task configuration in [Taskfile.yml](Taskfile.yml).
|
|
|
|
### Go
|
|
|
|
Download and install Go via your package manager or directly from the website: https://go.dev/doc/install
|
|
|
|
### NodeJS
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have a recent version of NodeJS installed (>= 20).
|
|
|
|
See NodeJS's website for platform-specific instructions: https://nodejs.org/en/download
|
|
|
|
### Yarn Modern
|
|
|
|
Once you have NodeJS installed, you'll need to enable Corepack so that Yarn Modern can work:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
corepack enable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If your NodeJS distribution does not ship with Corepack, you can install it manually using NPM:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm install -g corepack
|
|
corepack enable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Corepack's official documentation says to uninstall Yarn and PnPM first, but this is probably overkill. If you have any issues, try removing them from your system before continuing.
|
|
|
|
For more information on Corepack, check out [this link](https://yarnpkg.com/corepack).
|
|
|
|
## Clone the Repo
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone git@github.com:wavetermdev/waveterm.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/wavetermdev/waveterm.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build and Run
|
|
|
|
All the methods below will install Node and Go dependencies when they run the first time. All these should be run from within the Git repository.
|
|
|
|
### Development server
|
|
|
|
Run the following command to build the app and run it via Vite's development server (this enables Hot Module Reloading):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
task electron:dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Standalone
|
|
|
|
Run the following command to build the app and run it standalone, without the development server. This will not reload on change:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
task electron:start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Packaged
|
|
|
|
Run the following command to generate a production build and package it. This lets you install the app locally. All artifacts will be placed in `make/`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
task package
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Debugging
|
|
|
|
### Frontend logs
|
|
|
|
You can use the regular Chrome DevTools to debug the frontend application. You can open the DevTools using the keyboard shortcut `Cmd+Option+I` on macOS or `Ctrl+Option+I` on Linux and Windows. Logs will be sent to the Console tab in DevTools.
|
|
|
|
### Backend logs
|
|
|
|
Backend logs for the development version of Wave can be found at `~/.waveterm-dev/waveapp.log`. Both the NodeJS backend from Electron and the main Go backend will log here.
