Requirements for development

• NodeJS

Setup & Building

Patchfox uses Mithril, Electron and requires NodeJS for development. After you have NodeJS installed, you can install the dependencies with:

$ npm install

And run a development version of the app using:

$ npm run start

To build use:

$ npm run build

Setup inside Patchfox

Patchfox will use your default SSB data folder if available (the .ssb folder inside your home folder). If this is your first time using SSB, Patchfox will create that folder for you and place new keys inside.
