[FOR BEGINNERS] How do I build an app?

First, you’ll need Node.js (the application runs on it). You can download it here: https://nodejs.org/en

• Click "Get NodeJS"
• Select the version you need (Windows, macOS, Linux...)
• Wait for the installation to complete

Next, download Git from the official website

Now check to see if the necessary commands have been installed:

• Open a terminal (PowerShell, cmd.exe)
• First, type npm -v
• Then type git --version

If there are no errors and the versions are displayed, everything is fine

Next, step by step:

• Create a folder anywhere you’d like to run CodeMotion
• Open the terminal and type: cd followed by the path to your folder
• Next, clone the repository using the command: git clone https://github.com/cdmtn-dev/codemotion-ide.git
• Make sure you are inside the folder containing the source files. You can tell this is the case if the folder contains files such as package.json and main.js
• Next, install all dependencies using the command: npm install
• After installing the dependencies, you can run the program: npm start

Note

If you want to run the program in daemon mode, run npm start -- --d
