Electron application

• Install yarn - https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/
• Install node v8.x (check with node --version) - https://nodejs.org/en/
• Then run these commands:

cd ElectronClient/app
rsync -a ../../ReactNativeClient/lib/ lib/
npm install
yarn dist

If there's an error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, run sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4

That will create the executable file in the dist directory.

From /ElectronClient you can also run run.sh to run the app for testing.

Mobile application

From /ReactNativeClient, run npm install, then react-native run-ios or react-native run-android.

Terminal application

From /CliClient, run npm install then run run.sh. If you get an error about xgettext, comment out the command node build-translation.js --silent in build.sh
