Getting Started

Installation

NodeGui requires CMake and Compilation Tools as it is a wrapper for a native C++ widget toolkit QT. Detailed instructions here: https://www.sitepoint.com/build-native-desktop-gif-searcher-app-using-nodegui/

TL;DR: MacOS

brew install cmake
brew install make

Windows https://cmake.org/download/

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)

sudo apt-get install pkg-config build-essential
sudo apt-get install cmake make
sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

Linux (Fedora/RHEL/CentOS)

sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"
sudo dnf install mesa-libGL mesa-libGL-devel

Then install NodeGui from your command line:

To install latest stable release:
npm install @nodegui/nodegui
To install the latest version available on master branch:
npm install https://github.com/nodegui/nodegui/releases/download/v0.0.0-latest-master/nodegui-master.tgz

or a shorter version:

npm i http://master-release.nodegui.org

If the installation fails to download the Qt binaries, a mirror can be used by setting the following environment variable and running the install command again:

QT_LINK_MIRROR=<alternative domain> # eg. QT_LINK_MIRROR=https://qt-mirror.dannhauer.de

npm install @nodegui/nodegui
