From code

To clone and run this repository you'll need Git and Node.js (which comes with npm) installed on your computer. Optionally switch to node 6.9.2, because this is currently developped with this version:

sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 6.9.2

Install from source:

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/ark-desktop
# Go into the repository
cd ark-desktop
# Install dependencies 
npm install
  • In some cases, node-hid doesn't provide pre-built binaries, so is necessary to install the node-hid dependencies to build them from source before running npm install.

Then start:

npm start

brew bundle
