Setup

💻 Production

FlowTestAI is an electron app that runs entirely in your local environment interacting with your local file system just like other IDE(s) out there like VSCode, Intellij etc. The platform-specific binaries are available for download from our GitHub releases. We currently offer binaries for macOS, with versions for Windows and Linux under development 🚧. If you require a binary for a specific platform, please let us know in the Discussions section. We will prioritize your request accordingly.

🔧 Development

Prerequisite

This package uses version >= 18 of Node.js. There are different ways that you can install Node.js, following are steps for Node Verson Manager or NVM. If you need steps for other methods than NVM then please check Official Node.js documentation. Here is a sample walkthrough installing version 18.

Installs nvm (Node Version Manager)

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash

Download and install Node.js
```
nvm install 18
```
Verifies the right Node.js version is in the environment
```
node -v # should print `v18.20.2`
```
Verifies the right NPM version is in the environment
```
npm -v # should print `10.5.0`
```

Main setup

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/FlowTestAI/FlowTest.git

Go into repository folder
```
cd FlowTest
```
This project uses pnpm. Use corepack to enable the required pnpm version:
```
corepack enable pnpm
```
or install with npm
```
npm install -g pnpm@9.0.6
```
Install all project dependencies:
```
pnpm install
```
Build and start the app:
```
pnpm start
```
The app should start as a normal desktop app

NOTE: if you use npm and corepack to install pnpm you will have two instances of pnpm. Make sure the version you're using is the correct version for the repo. Check the pnpm docs and corepack for troubleshooting. Pnpm installed with npm will overrun corepacks pnpm instance.
