Storj Share

Test Status Coverage Status License

Storj Share is a cross-platform desktop application enabling users to earn money by sharing their extra hard drive space on the Storj network.

Quick Start

If you wish only to run the application, download a pre-built release from our releases page. If you wish to build from source, follow the instructions below.

Prerequisites

If you do not have Node.js installed already, install it with NVM.

Setup

Clone this repository and install dependencies with NPM.

git clone https://github.com/Storj/storjshare-gui.git && cd storjshare-gui
npm install

Then you can start the application. Please note that the "Launch Storj Share on User Login" option works with only packaged releases.

npm start

Development

Unlike a traditional Node.js project, this one has 2 separate package.json files: package.json and app/package.json. The one in the root directory only contains dependencies for the Electron-based build system. It is unlikely that you will need to modify this.

The app/package.json contains all of the application's dependencies. For more information on contributing to Storj Share, see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Building

You can package a release for GNU/Linux, OSX, and Windows, by running the following from the project's root directory.

npm run release

Once completed, your bundle will be placed in releases/. You can only bundle a release for the operating system on which you are running, so in order to build for all supported platforms, you will need to have access to each operating system.

You can use xdissent/ievms to setup a virtual machine for Windows if you are on GNU/Linux or OSX. If you are running GNU/Linux, there are a number of resources available for setting up a virtual machine for OSX.

On Windows, NSIS is used. You have to install it (version 3.0), and add NSIS folder to PATH in environment variables, so it is reachable to scripts in this project (path should look something like C:/Program Files (x86)/NSIS).
