### Setting up the development environment
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
|
|
1. [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
|
|
2. [git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
|
|
3. NPM (not yarn or pnpm)
|
|
|
|
Before you can do anything, you'll need to [install Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) v16 or later on your system.
|
|
|
|
Once you have completed the setup, the first step is to `clone` the monorepo:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/streetwriters/notesnook.git
|
|
|
|
# change directory
|
|
cd notesnook
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once you are inside the `./notesnook` directory, run the preparation step:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# this might take a while to complete
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can finally start the desktop app:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run start:desktop
|
|
```
|
|

### The tech stack
|
|
|
|
We try to keep the stack as lean as possible:
|
|
|
|
1. Electron
|
|
2. tRPC: for cross-communication between the web & desktop parts
|
|
3. zod: for runtime typechecking
|
|
4. yargs: for CLI argument parsing
