The core of TagSpaces starting from version 3 is build with react.js and the great material-ui framework.
The native Windows, Linux and Mac OS versions of TagSpaces are built with Electron. Electron is an app runtime based on Chromium and node.js. In order to combine it with react we have used the electron-react-boilerplate.
In order to run TagSpaces on your Windows, Mac OS or Linux from the source code published here, you will need the following prerequisites:
Get the TagSpaces source code by cloning its repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/tagspaces/tagspaces.git
Go to the folder where the code was cloned and select the branch you want to test. Use the the master branch for the last officially released version or the branch develop for a kind of a nightly build, containing the changed we are preparing for the next release of the application.
Switch to folder where you have cloned the repository:
$ cd tagspaces
Change to the branch with the name develop:
$ git checkout develop
and install the project dependencies:
$ yarn install
The last command will automatically build the application with webpack. Now it is time to install all the TagSpaces extensions:
$ yarn install-ext
Now you are ready and can start the application with:
$ yarn start
If you want to try the development mode, you can start it by:
$ yarn dev
This will start a development server in background, which watches for changes in background and refreshes the application automatically once you have done some changes in the source code.
Building of the packages can be accomplished with the integrated yarn scripts:
$ yarn package-win
$ yarn package-linux
$ yarn package-osx
For creating the packages for Windows, Linux and Mac OS respectively.
TagSpaces can be easily extended with the help of extensions. Currently we use the extensions for supporting the opening and editing of different file types in the application. More information about this topic can be found on the extension page of our website.
The webdav version of the app can be started with the following yarn command:
$ yarn run-web
This command will start a local node.js-WebDAV server on http://127.0.0.1:8000. Open your browser and enter the following URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/index.html
You will be prompted for user credentials, which are username: demo and password: demo and now you should be able to work with the WebDAV version of TagSpaces.
For setting up the WebDAV version on your server, please read Self-hosted TagSpaces with WebDAV from our blogs.

TagSpaces is an open source software and as such, the code is publicly available on GitHub, and forking is particularly recommended! Still, contribution must be done following some guidelines. Contributor License Agreement
The CLA is an agreement commonly used in major open source project, which aims at protecting all parties implied by a contribution: the contributor, the main code author, and above all, the community. The CLA model we have chosen basically tells the following: the contribution’s copyright is shared between the contributor and the main author. This means each party can do whatever she want in term of relicensing with this contributed piece of code. This is important, because, if in the future, the author wants to change the license in something more in favor of the community, a singular contributor cannot block the process.
The Contributor License Agreement can be signed online on the following CLA form.
