Building the light wallet

[maqifrnswa]

I got a lot of error´s on ubuntu 14.04

1. apt-get install npm
2. create user bitshares:bitshares with home directory and cd to it
3. git clone https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene-ui
4. cd graphene-ui
5. for I in cli dl web; do cd $I; npm install; cd ..; done  (errors without an end)

Here are my steps:

1. apt-get install npm nodejs-legacy
2. git clone https://github.com/bitshares-2-ui/bitshares-2-ui (for bitshares2, otherwise graphene-ui)
3. cd bitshares-2-ui
4. for I in cli dl web; do cd $I; npm install; cd ..; done  (this works for me, otherwise try commands below)
cd cli
npm install
cd ..
cd dl
npm install
cd ..
cd web
npm install
npm run-script build
x-www-browser dist/index.html

if you want to build the electron (chromium) based browser:
cd electron
npm install
cp -a ../web/dist/* build/
npm start

I think the graphene testnet servers aren't up any more, you have to use the new bitshares-2 version. That's in a different PPA

Code: [Select]

apt-add-repository ppa:showard314/bitshares
apt-get install bitshares2
bitshares2

do you know, whether deb package will be prepared for ubuntu and debian?

Yes, if the worker is approved (debian and ubuntu)
For now you can get a pre-release version by:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:showard314/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install graphene-ui
graphene
the cli_wallet and witness_node binaries are in the graphene package

do you know, whether deb package will be prepared for ubuntu and debian?

[maqifrnswa]

figured it out:
first in web/, build the app with "npm run-script build"
then copy everything from web/dist to electron/build
then you can go to electron/ and do "npm start"

[maqifrnswa]

From:
https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene-ui

I'm trying out the electron build on linux (ubuntu 14.10). How is cryptonomex generating the windows and mac builds?

When using the start script, an an empty electron window pops up and does nothing (just white on the inside frame, no web page loaded).

When I used the release script (release_linux.js), a .deb is created. When installed, it behaves the same way.
I don't want to take away from development, but if I could get a hint as to how it is supposed to be built I can look at getting out linux binaries.

The web wallet works fine, looks great. I don't see much of a benefit to a web gui package as it's just as easy for someone to "git clone" "npm install" and "npm start," but the light client would have a wider use-case interesting.
