# Build Instructions (OS X)
|
|
|
|
Follow the guidelines below for building Electron on OS X.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* OS X >= 10.8
|
|
* [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/) >= 5.1
|
|
* [node.js](http://nodejs.org) (external)
|
|
|
|
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/electron/electron.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Bootstrapping
|
|
|
|
The bootstrap script will download all necessary build dependencies and create
|
|
the build project files. Notice that we're using [ninja](https://ninja-build.org/)
|
|
to build Electron so there is no Xcode project generated.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd electron
|
|
$ ./script/bootstrap.py -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
Build both `Release` and `Debug` targets:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ./script/build.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also only build the `Debug` target:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ./script/build.py -c D
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After building is done, you can find `Electron.app` under `out/D`.
|
|
|
|
## 32bit Support
|
|
|
|
Electron can only be built for a 64bit target on OS X and there is no plan to
|
|
support 32bit OS X in future.
|
|
|
|
## Tests
|
|
|
|
Test your changes conform to the project coding style using:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ./script/cpplint.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Test functionality using:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ./script/test.py
|
|
```
