Modpack Packer

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

====

Build it yourself

1. Requirements

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

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

2. Setup go

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.

3. Get the Project

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

4. Install Dependencies

Fetch all dependencies by running npm i

5. Build and run

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

This will build the application and place it in the app directory by using gulp and then starts the application by running electron . --dev in the app dir. 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 distributing.
