Contributing.md

Easy Distribute and hacking.

Want to change just a couple lines?

The only dependency you need is `podman

• podman https://podman.io/docs/installation On ubuntu just usesudo apt install podman

and run the distribute script

./distribute.sh

That will use a podman container to build the entire app and it will put the output in ./dist.

Change the PLATFORM environment variable to build for different platforms. For example to build for linux aarch64:

PLATFORM=linux/aarch64 ./distribute.sh

• Download the following dependecies from your system's package manager. On ubuntu use: sudo apt install pkg-config libchafa-dev build-essential
• Optional: vscode with these recommended extensions:
  • "ms-vscode.cpptools-extension-pack",
  • "golang.go",
  • "ms-vscode.makefile-tools"
