Developer Build System

These are instructions for how to develop for artifact. This is tested for linux only, but should work for any OS (all tools are cross-platform)

• install the released artifact by following the User Guide
• First, install rust and cargo with rustup
  • install nightly rust: rustup install nightly
• for the web-ui:
  • install node.js for your OS
  • install elm and webpack globally with npm install -g elm webpack
• clone the source code and navigate to it
  • git clone https://github.com/vitiral/artifact.git; cd artifact
• compile the code:
  • cargo build
• run all the commands in the update command at the end of the justfile (or run just update if you have just installed)

When that works, there are a few additional tools

• you need git for version control
• justfile is how to access developer build commands
  • just does not support Windows (yet)
  • cargo install just to install it
  • call just -l from the project root to list all commands
  • view the justfile itself to see what is going on and browse how to use the commands
