Installation

If you want to install the app from a pre-built version on the release page, you can simply run the executable after download.

For updating, simply download the new version and copy it over the old one (keep a backup of the old one if you want to be sure).

Linux .zip installs

In order to install from .zip files, please install libgconf2-4 first:

apt-get install libgconf2-4

Config folder

The data folder for LindaX Wallet depends on your operating system:

Windows %APPDATA%\LindaX Wallet
macOS ~/Library/Application\ Support/LindaX Wallet
Linux ~/.config/LindaX Wallet

Development

For development, a Meteor server assists with live reload and CSS injection.

Once a the LindaX Wallet version is released the Meteor frontend part is bundled using the meteor-build-client npm package to create pure static files.

Dependencies

To run the LindaX Wallet in development you need:

Node.js v7.x (use the preferred installation method for your OS)
Meteor javascript app framework
Yarn package manager

Install the latter ones via:

$ curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
$ curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash

Initialization

Now you're ready to initialize the LindaX Wallet for development:

$ git clone https://github.com/thelindaprojectinc/lindax-wallet.git
$ cd LindaX-Wallet
$ yarn

Run LindaX Wallet

For development we start the interface with a Meteor server for auto-reload etc.

Start the interface in a separate terminal window:

$ yarn dev:meteor

Start the LindaX Wallet interface in a separate terminal window:

$ yarn dev:wallet

In the original window you can then start the wallet with:

$ yarn dev:electron

NOTE: Client binaries (e.g. glinx) specified in clientBinaries.json will be checked during every startup and downloaded if out-of-date, binaries are stored in the config folder.

NOTE: use --help to display available options, e.g. --loglevel debug (or trace) for verbose output

Passing options to Glinx

You can pass command-line options directly to Glinx by prefixing them with --node- in the command-line invocation:

$ yarn dev:electron --node-rpcport 19343 --node-networkid 2

The --rpc wallet option is a special case. If you set this to an IPC socket file path then the --ipcpath option automatically gets set, i.e.:

$ yarn dev:electron --rpc path/to/glinx.ipc

...is the same as doing...

$ yarn dev:electron --rpc /my/glinx.ipc --node-ipcpath /path/to/glinx.ipc

Creating a local private net

If you would like to quickly set up a local private network on your computer, run:

glinx --dev

Look for the IPC path in the resulting glinx output, then start the wallet with:

$ yarn dev:electron --rpc path/to/glinx.ipc

Deployment

Our build system relies on gulp and electron-builder.

Dependencies

Cross-platform builds require additional electron-builder dependencies.

macOS

$ brew install rpm

Windows

$ brew install wine --without-x11 mono makensis

Linux

$ brew install gnu-tar libicns graphicsmagick xz

Generate packages

To generate the LindaX Wallet:

$ yarn build:wallet

The generated binaries will be under dist_wallet/release.

Options

platform

To build binaries for specific platforms (default: all available) use the following flags:

$ yarn build:wallet --mac      # mac
$ yarn build:wallet --linux    # linux
$ yarn build:wallet --win      # windows

skipTasks

When building a binary, you can optionally skip some tasks — generally for testing purposes.

$ yarn build:wallet --mac --skipTasks=bundling-interface,release-dist

Checksums

Prints the SHA-256 checksums of the distributables.

It expects installer/zip files to be in the generated folders e.g. dist_wallet/release

$ yarn task checksums [--wallet]

Tasks found in gulpfile.js and gulpTasks/

Any other gulp task can be run using yarn task.

$ yarn task clean-dist

Cutting a release

Install release globally:
```
$ yarn global add release
```
Create a git tag and a GitHub release:
```
$ release <major|minor|patch>
```
A generated release draft will open in the default browser. Edit the information and add assets as necessary.

Testing

Tests run using Spectron, a webdriver.io runner built for Electron.

First make sure to build the LindaX Wallet with:

$ yarn build:wallet

Then run the tests:

$ yarn test:unit:once
$ yarn test:e2e

Note: Integration tests are not yet supported on Windows.
