Modpack helper for creating Technic Solder packs. Based on electron and go.

• NodeJS
• Go
• Typings
• Electron-prebuilt
• Gulp

The last 3 can be installed by running npm install -g typings electron-prebuilt gulp.

In case go is not installed ( check with go version) read up https://golang.org/doc/install If you do not already have a setup fully working Go environment and Go workspace, read this: https://golang.org/doc/code.html#Workspace

In short, you need to setup the GOPATH variable, to some folder on your system and GOPATH/bin must be included in PATH.

This project needs no git clone!

Once you have that setup, get the repository by running go get github.com/zlepper/go-modpack-packer/source/backend. This will fetch the repo and install all go dependencies. You can now find the code in GOPATH/src/github.com/zlepper/go-modpack-packer

Fetch all dependencies by running npm i and typings install

To build everything run the gulp commmand gulp in the root directory of the repository.

This will build the application and place it in the app directory.

Switch to the app directory and run the command electron . --dev. The --dev flag tells the app to run in dev mode. This way it doesn't check for updates, and also doesn't do some unpacking required when destributing.

This will launch the application.
