Setting up the development environment

Make sure you have the following dependencies available:

• Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows.

• git (used for source version control).

• Flutter SDK with the branch dev or master.

• An IDE. Android Studio with the Flutter plugin is our flagship IDE. You can use whatever IDE you feel most comfortable with.

• An ssh client (used to authenticate with GitHub).

• The Android platform tools.

  You can install this using one of the following commands:

  • Mac: brew cask install android-platform-tools
  • Linux: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

Run the following steps to set up your environment:

1. Ensure that adb (from the Android platform tools) is in your path (e.g., that which adb prints sensible output).

2. Fork https://github.com/Darkness4/minitel-app into your own GitHub account. If you already have a fork, and are now installing a development environment on a new machine, make sure you've updated your fork so that you don't use stale configuration options from long ago.

3. If you haven't configured your machine with an SSH key that's known to github then follow the directions here: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/.

4. git clone git@github.com:<your_name_here>/minitel-app.git

5. cd minitel-app

6. git remote add upstream git@github.com:Darkness4/minitel-app.git (So that you fetch from the master repository, not your clone, when running git fetch et al.)

7. Run flutter packages get This will fetch all the packages that Minitel Toolbox depends on.
