## Prerequisites
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Windows 7 or later
|
||
|
|
* Visual Studio 2010 Express or higher
|
||
|
|
* [Python 2.7](http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/)
|
||
|
|
* [node.js](http://nodejs.org/)
|
||
|

* [git](http://git-scm.com)
|

|
The instructions bellow are executed under [cygwin](http://www.cygwin.com), but it's not a requirement, you can also build atom-shell under Windows's console or other terminals.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The building of atom-shell is done entirely with command line scripts, so you can use any editor you like to develop atom-shell, but it also means you can not use Visual Studio for the development. Support of building with Visual Studio will come in future.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note:** Even though Visual Studio is not used for building, it's still required because we need the build toolchains it provided.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Getting the code
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/atom/atom-shell.git
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Bootstrapping
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The bootstrap script will download all necessary build dependencies and create build project files. Notice that we're using `ninja` to build atom-shell so there is no Visual Studio project generated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
$ cd atom-shell
|
||
|
|
$ python script/bootstrap.py
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Building
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Build both Release and Debug targets:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
$ python script/build.py
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also only build the Debug target:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
$ python script/build.py -c Debug
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After building is done, you can find `atom.exe` under `out\Debug`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tests
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
$ python script/test.py
|
||
|
|
```
