Getting Started

If you're comfortable getting up and running from a git clone, this method is for you.

If you clone the GitHub repository, you will need to build a number of assets using grunt.

The master branch which contains the latest release.

Quickstart:

Note that in Ubuntu (or derivative system) you probably need to upgrade nodejs and npm version. To do so, run the following :

  1. curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_0.12 | sudo bash -
  2. sudo apt-get --yes install nodejs && sudo npm -g install npm

Then you can start building Butter :

  1. npm install -g grunt-cli bower (Linux: you need to run with sudo)
  2. npm install ## Install local dependencies in node_modules/
  3. grunt build ## Build the Butter application
  4. npm install gulp gulp-electron gulp-util ## Start the Butter application`
  5. gulp ## Start the Butter applicationOptionally, you may simply run./make_butter.sh` if you are on a linux or mac based operating system.

You can also have a look at the Dockerfile as a build example.

Full instructions & troubleshooting tips can be found in the Contributing Guide

Generate executable packages

You can generate executable packages for all platforms with grunt package. The packages are in dist/.

Community

Versioning

For transparency and insight into our release cycle, and for striving to maintain backward compatibility, Butter will be maintained according to the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible.

Releases will be numbered with the following format:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>-<build>

Constructed with the following guidelines:

  • A new major release indicates a large change where backward compatibility is broken.
  • A new minor release indicates a normal change that maintains backward compatibility.
  • A new patch release indicates a bugfix or small change which does not affect compatibility.
  • A new build release indicates this is a pre-release of the version.
