Getting started

I highly recommend you to download the installer from Ascendara's website to use the latest stable version of Ascendara

Building the app

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/tagoWorks/ascendara.git

2. Install requirements

   npm install -r

3. Build the React app

   npm run build

   This will build the app in src into a single index, css, and js file. Look in src/dist for the files.

4. In the dist, move the assets folder into the parent folder

5. In the index.html file of the built react app, you will see "assets/index.css", and "assets/index.js". Simply remove the "assets/" leaving just the file name in the source.

6. Move all files into the build directory

7. In the main.js, go towards the bottom and delete mainWindow.loadURL('http://localhost:5173/'), and uncomment mainWindow.loadURL('file://' + path.join(__dirname, 'index.html')); in order to run correctly

8. Build the Electron app

   npm run dist

Running the finished product

1. In the main directory, go into dist
2. Head into the win-unpacked directory
3. Run the exe file in the directory
