Alpha quality you probably only want to use this if you like to send pull requests fixing things :)

See our site or the gh-pages branch.

You'll need the newest node.js (>= 4) and npm (>= 2.8.3).

Clone the sources locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/moose-team/friends

$ cd friends

Install project dependencies:

$ npm install

Compile leveldown for electron:

$ npm run rebuild-leveldb

If you are not on 64-bit architecture, you will have to modify the command in package.json:

"rebuild-leveldb": "cd node_modules/leveldown && set HOME=~/.electron-gyp && node-gyp rebuild --target=$(../../version.js) --arch=x64 --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell"

to use --arch=ia32.

Friends currently uses your git + github configuration.

If you don't already have a public key on GitHub and its private key on your machine, you'll need to set that up first. Make sure your github username is also set, using git config --global user.username yourusername.

If this doesn't work, do this to get debug information:

$ npm i github-current-user -g
$ DEBUG=* github-current-user

and then report an issue.

Note: DSA keys are not supported. You should switch to RSA anyway for security reasons.

If it can't verify you, try doing ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa. Your key should show up when you run ssh-add -l.

To run from the command line, execute npm start.

To create a distributable app, run npm run package.
