## Developers
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
|
||||
#### Run Diffuse from source
|
||||
|
||||
To run Diffuse from the source code, type this:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
python main.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To debug with VS Code, open the directory in VS Code, place your breakpoints and hit F5.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Build Diffuse
|
||||
|
||||
To build Diffuse, type this:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
python setup.py build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To run from the build, type this:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
PYTHONPATH=build/lib ./build/scripts-3.7/diffuse
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Install Diffuse locally
|
||||
|
||||
Diffuse build system is meson.
|
||||
|
||||
To install diffuse locally:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
meson setup build
|
||||
cd build
|
||||
meson compile
|
||||
meson install # requires admin privileges
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To uninstall diffuse afterwards:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo ninja uninstall -C build
|
||||
sudo rm -v /usr/local/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/diffuse.mo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Meson allows to change the default installation directories, see
|
||||
[command-line documentation](https://mesonbuild.com/Commands.html#configure).
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
The `windows-installer` directory contains scripts for building an installable
|
||||
package for Windows that includes all dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
Diffuse can be packaged as a portable application by copying the installation
|
||||
directory to a pen drive and creating a front end that sets the
|
||||
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and `XDG_DATA_DIR` environment variables prior to launching
|
||||
Diffuse. The `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and `XDG_DATA_DIR` environment variables
|
||||
indicate where Diffuse should store persistent settings (eg. the path to a
|
||||
writable directory on the pen drive).
|
||||
|
||||
## Building and testing the Flatpak package
|
||||
|
||||
To install Diffuse locally:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
flatpak install runtime/org.gnome.Sdk/$(uname -p)/3.38
|
||||
flatpak-builder build-flatpak --user --install io.github.mightycreak.Diffuse.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To run Diffuse through Flatpak:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
flatpak run io.github.mightycreak.Diffuse
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To uninstall Diffuse:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
flatpak remove io.github.mightycreak.Diffuse
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Help Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
Diffuse's help documentation is written in the DocBook format and can be easily
|
||||
converted into other formats using XSLT stylesheets. If the local help
|
||||
documentation or its browser are unavailable, Diffuse will attempt to display
|
||||
the on-line help documentation using a web browser.
|
||||
For a more detailed documentation for users, translators and developers, see
|
||||
the [documentation](docs/).
