• Python 3.8
• requirements.txt

Python scripts are used to update data in dist/data/modmeta.*.json which is used by the frontend. Before changing data cargo test is run, and if errors are found, the old data is reused instead.

Data is currently cached in ~/.github-cache, and if Git hashes don't change, the specific repository is skipped.

python3.8 scripts/mindustry-mods.py -iph

This would executing the script hourly. The --help argument can be used to get more information. This assumes you're running the script from the current directory, and -d is just the path back to the root directory.

• rustc 1.39.0

Simply install Rust through rustup, this tool can install Rust and it's build tool Cargo.

cargo install wasm-pack

wasm-pack is used to build and package the Wasm file for the browser (currently done without a bundler).

sudo apt install make

make just runs the local Makefile, nothing fancy here.

To build the Wasm file just run the following:

make build

This will run the wasm-dist task in frontend/Makefile.toml, which will run wasm-pack on top of a few commands, which will move the ./pkg into the right place.

cargo test

Fastest way to get a result is through cargo test.

cd dist
python3.8 -m http.server 9000

Running the app will give more conclusive results on what you actually did. You want to run a server from the generated dist/ directory.

A Python file server is being used, openning the browser at localhost:9000 will show the browser app running. Using the latest version of Python will ensure the correct wasm mimetype exists, which make not be the case in your existing Python 3 version.

• gh-pages 2.2.0

The standard gh-pages npm tool is used to publish to the gh-pages branch. If anything that's the only reason npm is here.
