You can also install Tropy via Homebrew, winget, or the AUR.
For Linux users, we recommended to install Tropy with Flatpak.
Install the latest version of Node.js (at least the version that ships with the current Electron release) and all dependencies required to use node-gyp on your platform.
Clone this repository and install Tropy's dependencies:
$ npm install
$ node scripts/rebuild.js --force
On Linux, use the --global-libvips flag when rebuiliding
to link against the system's libvips.
To test that everything works, run:
$ npm test
To create a dev-build for your current platform run npm run build.
This will create a dev-build of Tropy in the dist folder.
Use the following commands for Tropy development:
# Compile the production bundle (optionally in --watch mode)
$ npm run rollup -- --watch
# Run bundle in dev mode
$ npm start
# View or tail the log file
$ npm run log:view
$ npm run log:tail
You can extend Tropy's functionality via plugins. To find out more, consult the plugin specification and clone the sample plugin to get started.
