Development instructions

Code Design

The project is based on

• Electron + NodeJS (the required version of NodeJS >= v18.)

• Typescript

• React + Redux

• Rust for some modules

Setup Environments

Install System Libs

You need libudev, libusb-1.0-0, libusb-1.0-0-dev installed on Linux

On Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev

Install Rust

Since the Emerald Wallet now contains a code written in Rust you need to have Rust compiler installed, please follow instructions at https://rustup.rs

You may also need to have Visual Studio Build Tools with "Desktop development with C++" component, install it from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2022

Install NPM packages

Enable Corepack

corepack enable

Install dependencies:

yarn install

Run for development

Build sources

yarn build:native
yarn build

Optionally you can build desktop app with automatic rebuild on change. Please note that it rebuilds only main Desktop module, and you have responsibility to rebuild other modules manually when changed.

Continuous rebuild of Desktop (optional):

yarn build:watch

or

yarn workspace @emeraldwallet/desktop build:watch

Start Electron application:

yarn workspace @emeraldwallet/desktop start

Troubleshooting

Cleanup

If you’re facing some weird problem it makes sense to make a full cleanup and then rebuild everything from scratch.

Erase compiled Javascript (it’s also done automatically on build):

yarn clean

To erase NPM modules (may be needed when you build under different NodeJS version):

yarn run clean:modules

Logs

Electron and Emerald logs persisted in:

• OSX: ~/Library/Logs/EmeraldWallet/log.log

• Linux: ~/.config/EmeraldWallet/log.log

Building distributions in development

You can run a distribution build in your development environment.Assuming you’ve already compiled ./src/ and ./electron/, you’ll be able to run:

yarn build:dist

This command will build for your current system. Note that there are configurations for several systems (OSX, Linux, Windows) specified in the "build" field of package.json, but the dist command will by default only build for the system it’s on.

Note	If you’re developing on OSX and have a developer signing identity on your machine, you can optionally disable that with CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false.

OSX is also able to build for Linux. Add -ml to that raw command to build for both OSX and Linux at the same time.

Troubleshooting

Some preliminary things to try in case you run into issues:

Clear out any persisted settings or userdata from previous trials

• OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/EmeraldWallet

• Linux: ~/.config/EmeraldWallet

• Windows: %APPDATA%\EmeraldWallet

Run tests

yarn test
