# Build instructions (Mac)
## Prerequisites
* Mac OS X >= 10.7
* [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/) >= 5.1
* [node.js](http://nodejs.org)
If you are using the python downloaded by Homebrew, you also need to install
following python modules:
* pyobjc
## 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 Xcode project generated.
```bash
$ cd atom-shell
$ ./script/bootstrap.py
```
## Building
Build both `Release` and `Debug` targets:
```bash
$ ./script/build.py
```
You can also only build the `Debug` target:
```bash
$ ./script/build.py -c Debug
```
After building is done, you can find `Atom.app` under `out/Debug`.
## 32bit support
Currently atom-shell can only be built for 64bit target on OS X, and there is no
plan to support 32bit on OS X in future.
## Tests
```bash
$ ./script/test.py
```
