# Setup project for development
## Development setup and getting started
Make sure you follow the setup guide of [Qode][qode_setup] so that you have a build environment ready for Qode.
### MacOSX:
**Requirements**
1. Node version: > 11
2. CMake 3.1 and up (Installation instructions can be found here: https://cmake.org/install/)
3. Make, GCC v7
4. Qt (_Optional_): Make sure you followed the setup instructions from [Qode][qode_setup]
__*Only for M1 Macs*__
**_Setting up Qt:_**
You will need to download and install Qt from source since there are no binaries from Qt for M1 yet.
(https://www.reddit.com/r/QtFramework/comments/ll58wg/how_to_build_qt_creator_for_macos_arm64_a_guide/)
```
git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
cd qt5
git checkout 5.15
./init-repository --module-subset=essential -f
git submodule init qtsvg
git submodule update qtsvg
cd ..
mkdir qt5-5.15-macOS-release
cd qt5-5.15-macOS-release
../qt5/configure -release QMAKE_APPLE_DEVICE_ARCHS=arm64 -opensource -confirm-license -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qt3d -skip webengine -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtcanvas3d -skip qtdeclarative -skip qtdatavis3d -skip qtdoc -skip qtgamepad -skip qtcharts -skip qtgraphicaleffects -skip qtlocation -skip qtpurchasing -skip qtquickcontrols -skip qtquickcontrols2 -skip qtremoteobjects -skip qtscxml -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialbus -skip qtserialport -skip qtspeech -skip qtvirtualkeyboard -skip qtscript
make -j15
make install
```
This should install Qt into something like this `/usr/local/Qt-5.15.3` (your directory can change. This will be displayed when running make)
Now just set `export QT_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/Qt-5.15.3` in either your .zshrc or .bashrc
Further steps would now use this custom Qt installation.
### Windows:
**Requirements**
1. Node version: > 11
2. CMake 3.1 and up (Installation instructions can be found here: https://cmake.org/install/)
3. Visual Studio Community 2017
4. Powershell
5. Qt (_Optional_): Make sure you followed the setup instructions from [Qode][qode_setup]
### Linux:
Supported versions: Ubuntu 17.10 and up
**Requirements**
1. Node version: > 11
2. CMake 3.1 and up (Installation instructions can be found here: https://cmake.org/install/)
3. Make, GCC v7, pkg-config
4. Qt (_Optional_): Make sure you followed the setup instructions from [Qode][qode_setup]
On Ubuntu: `$ sudo apt-get install pkg-config build-essential` should install everything except Qt5.
Note: If you are using your own version of Qt make sure to
`export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="<path to qt installation>/5.13.0/gcc_64/lib/pkgconfig"`
### Common:
1. Once you have setup the platform specific stuff as mentioned above, follow these:
2. `git clone` this repo.
3. `yarn install`
4. `yarn build:addon`
5. `yarn dev`
If you want to run with your own version of Qt make sure to pass qt_home_dir variable when building addon.
`npm run rebuild:addon [--qt_home_dir=/path/to/qt]`
