# Building CodeNomad Binaries
|
||||
|
||||
This guide explains how to build distributable binaries for CodeNomad.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- **Bun** - Package manager and runtime
|
||||
- **Node.js** - For electron-builder
|
||||
- **Electron Builder** - Installed via devDependencies
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
All commands now run inside the workspace packages. From the repo root you can target the Electron app package directly:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run build --workspace @neuralnomads/codenomad-electron-app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Build for Current Platform (macOS default)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun run build:binaries
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This builds for macOS (Universal - Intel + Apple Silicon) by default.
|
||||
|
||||
## Platform-Specific Builds
|
||||
|
||||
### macOS
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Universal (Intel + Apple Silicon) - Recommended
|
||||
bun run build:mac
|
||||
|
||||
# Intel only (x64)
|
||||
bun run build:mac-x64
|
||||
|
||||
# Apple Silicon only (ARM64)
|
||||
bun run build:mac-arm64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output formats:** `.dmg`, `.zip`
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# x64 (64-bit Intel/AMD)
|
||||
bun run build:win
|
||||
|
||||
# ARM64 (Windows on ARM)
|
||||
bun run build:win-arm64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output formats:** `.exe` (NSIS installer), `.zip`
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# x64 (64-bit)
|
||||
bun run build:linux
|
||||
|
||||
# ARM64
|
||||
bun run build:linux-arm64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output formats:** `.AppImage`, `.deb`, `.tar.gz`
|
||||
|
||||
### Build All Platforms
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun run build:all
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ **Note:** Cross-platform builds may have limitations. Build on the target platform for best results.
|
||||
|
||||
## Build Process
|
||||
|
||||
The build script performs these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Build @neuralnomads/codenomad** → Produces the CLI `dist/` bundle (also rebuilds the UI assets it serves)
|
||||
2. **Compile TypeScript + bundle with Vite** → Electron main, preload, and renderer output in `dist/`
|
||||
3. **Package with electron-builder** → Platform-specific binaries
|
||||
|
||||
## Output
|
||||
|
||||
Binaries are generated in the `release/` directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
release/
|
||||
├── CodeNomad-0.1.0-mac-universal.dmg
|
||||
├── CodeNomad-0.1.0-mac-universal.zip
|
||||
├── CodeNomad-0.1.0-win-x64.exe
|
||||
├── CodeNomad-0.1.0-linux-x64.AppImage
|
||||
└── ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## File Naming Convention
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
CodeNomad-{version}-{os}-{arch}.{ext}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- **version**: From package.json (e.g., `0.1.0`)
|
||||
- **os**: `mac`, `win`, `linux`
|
||||
- **arch**: `x64`, `arm64`, `universal`
|
||||
- **ext**: `dmg`, `zip`, `exe`, `AppImage`, `deb`, `tar.gz`
|
||||
|
||||
## Platform Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
### macOS
|
||||
|
||||
- **Build on:** macOS 10.13+
|
||||
- **Run on:** macOS 10.13+
|
||||
- **Code signing:** Optional (recommended for distribution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
- **Build on:** Windows 10+, macOS, or Linux
|
||||
- **Run on:** Windows 10+
|
||||
- **Code signing:** Optional (recommended for distribution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
- **Build on:** Any platform
|
||||
- **Run on:** Ubuntu 18.04+, Debian 10+, Fedora 32+, Arch
|
||||
- **Dependencies:** Varies by distro
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Build fails on macOS
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install Xcode Command Line Tools
|
||||
xcode-select --install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Build fails on Linux
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install dependencies (Debian/Ubuntu)
|
||||
sudo apt-get install -y rpm
|
||||
|
||||
# Install dependencies (Fedora)
|
||||
sudo dnf install -y rpm-build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "electron-builder not found"
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install dependencies
|
||||
bun install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Build is slow
|
||||
|
||||
- Use platform-specific builds instead of `build:all`
|
||||
- Close other applications to free up resources
|
||||
- Use SSD for faster I/O
|
||||
|
||||
## Development vs Production
|
||||
|
||||
**Development:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun run dev # Hot reload, no packaging
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Production:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun run build:binaries # Full build + packaging
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## CI/CD Integration
|
||||
|
||||
Example GitHub Actions workflow:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
name: Build Binaries
|
||||
|
||||
on:
|
||||
push:
|
||||
tags:
|
||||
- "v*"
|
||||
|
||||
jobs:
|
||||
build-mac:
|
||||
runs-on: macos-latest
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
||||
- uses: oven-sh/setup-bun@v1
|
||||
- run: bun install
|
||||
- run: bun run build:mac
|
||||
|
||||
build-win:
|
||||
runs-on: windows-latest
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
||||
- uses: oven-sh/setup-bun@v1
|
||||
- run: bun install
|
||||
- run: bun run build:win
|
||||
|
||||
build-linux:
|
||||
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
||||
- uses: oven-sh/setup-bun@v1
|
||||
- run: bun install
|
||||
- run: bun run build:linux
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Edit `package.json` → `build` section to customize:
|
||||
|
||||
- App icon
|
||||
- Code signing
|
||||
- Installer options
|
||||
- File associations
|
||||
- Auto-update settings
|
||||
|
||||
See [electron-builder docs](https://www.electron.build/) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
## Brand Assets
|
||||
|
||||
- `images/CodeNomad-Icon.png` — primary asset for in-app logo placements and the 1024×1024 master icon used to generate packaged app icons
|
||||
|
||||
To update the binaries:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run `node scripts/generate-icons.js images/CodeNomad-Icon.png electron/resources` to round the corners and emit fresh `icon.icns`, `icon.ico`, and `icon.png` files.
|
||||
2. (Optional) Pass `--radius` to tweak the corner curvature or `--name` to change the filename prefix.
|
||||
3. If you prefer manual control, export `images/CodeNomad-Icon.png` with your tool of choice and place the generated files in `electron/resources/`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Clean Build
|
||||
|
||||
Remove previous builds:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
rm -rf release/ dist/
|
||||
bun run build:binaries
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: Can I build for Windows on macOS?**
|
||||
A: Yes, but native binaries (e.g., DMG) require the target OS.
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: How large are the binaries?**
|
||||
A: Approximately 100-150 MB (includes Electron runtime).
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: Do I need code signing?**
|
||||
A: Not required, but recommended for public distribution to avoid security warnings.
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: How do I update the version?**
|
||||
A: Update `version` in `package.json`, then rebuild.
