sauna

Sauna is an alternate client for Steam chat built on Electron, using node-steam-user to interface with the desktop Steam API.

Install

steam-user is not listed as an explicit dependency as it seems that installing it tends to fail when done automatically. Instead, to install, make you sure have svn in your path, then run the following commands inside the sauna folder:

npm install
npm install steam-user --no-bin-links
npm install steam

On Windows, you may need to do this as well afterwards:

cd node_modules/steam
npm install steam-resources
cd node_modules/steam-resources
npm install
cd ../../../..

To run sauna from source, you need to have the electron binary. Install electron-prebuilt globally, then run it:

npm install -g electron-prebuilt # as root, on Linux
electron . # where . is the path to the `sauna` folder
