Compiling and running Polaris is very easy as it only depends on the Rust toolchain.
- Install Rust
- Clone the polaris depot with this command:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/agersant/polaris.git - You can now run compile and run polaris from the newly created directory with the command:
cargo run
Polaris supports a few command line arguments which are useful during development:
-w some/path/to/web/dirlets you point to the directory to be served as the web interface. You'll probably want to point this to the/webdirectory of the polaris repository.-d some/path/to/a/file.dblets you manually choose where Polaris stores its configuration and music index (you can reuse the same database accross multiple runs)-f(on Linux) makes Polaris not fork into a separate process
Putting it all together, a typical command to compile and run the program would be: cargo run -- -w web -d test/my.db
While Polaris is running, access the web UI at http://localhost:5050.
That's the easy part, simply run cargo test!
