Readme translations:
nuclear is a free music streaming program that pulls content from free sources all over the internet.
If you know mps-youtube, this is a similar music player but with a GUI. It's also focusing more on audio. Imagine Spotify which you don't have to pay for and with a bigger library.
The current version is a pre-alpha early access. Some of it is usable, some of it isn't. If there are things that don't work as expected or are counterintuitive, please open an issue so I can prioritize working on them.
See this.

This will be updated as the program evolves.
You will need docker and docker-compose. As all Electron applications, Nuclear has two parts: the server and the web app. Both are containerized. You need to allow the root user to connect to X11 display, and then you can run docker-compose:
$ xhost SI:localuser:root
$ sudo docker-compose up devA new window should open that will load the web app and run Nuclear. On non-Linux systems, you can use lerna:
$ npm i -g lerna #installs lerna globally
$ lerna bootstrap
$ lerna run startTo build for current operating system:
$ npm run buildInstead of build you can use build:all to build for all operating systems. The binaries will be in packages/app/release
In case of errors with dbus/mpris, try removing optional dependencies from packages/app/package.json and node_modules.
