Laptop and Desktop browser for OS X and Windows built on top of the Electron framework (Node + Chromium content module).

1. Clone the git repository from GitHub:

   git clone git@github.com:brave/browser-electron.git

2. Open the working directory:

    cd browser-electron
   

3. Install the Node dependencies:

    npm install
   

To start the server and file watchers run the following on the command line:

npm run watch

TO run the browser:

num start

We are currently using a fork of Electron with some minor modifications here: https://github.com/brave/electron

Build instructions:

• OSX build instructions
• Windows build instructions
• Linux build instructions

From within brave-browser you can create a .app file for distribution:

npm run build-darwin

After the .app file is built you can create a dmg with:

npm run installer-dwarwin

To create a folder with the app .exe and all dependencies:

npm run build-win64

After the above folder is created, you can create an NSIS based installer with:

npm run installer-win64

Packaging is not implemented yet for other platforms, but it would be simple for linux.

Development builds will automatically open developer tools within the browser.
