How to install and build

You'll need git, bash, python3.6, node(=nodejs e.g. v14.13.1 is confirmed to work, use nvm to manage node versions) with npm, bower and ttfautohint (if not in your distribution I suggest: ttfautohint-build). Maybe you'll have to install the python3-venv module.

Are dependencies missing? Please, let me know.

# fetch the sources
path/to $ git clone git@github.com:graphicore/librebarcode.git
path/to $ cd librebarcode

# best start with an virtual environment
path/to/librebarcode $ python3 -m venv venv
path/to/librebarcode $ . venv/bin/activate

# installs fontmake and fontbakery
(venv) path/to/librebarcode $ pip install -r requirements.txt

# installs javascript dependencies
(venv) path/to/librebarcode $ npm install
(venv) path/to/librebarcode $ bower install

# now build:

# the fonts should be in the librebarcode/fonts directory now
# The UFO sources should be in the sources directory
