Dev Environment Setup and Run in Development Mode

Requirements

Node > v10.13.0 Yarn (recommended) > v1.15.2

Install Dependencies

Everything which belongs the electron app is in the /app Folder, so in the /app Folder run

yarn && yarn start

yarn start will execute a concurrently Task which builds the electron main (backend) Bundle everytime something changes in the /app/electron folder and kills/restarts the electron process - which is needed for the main Bundle.

As also the Webpack dev server environment for the electron renderer bundle which runs on port 1666.

FAQ
