Build from source

Build the application yourself if you want to audit the code or check the build. You need the .NET 10 SDK and git.

Tip

If you only want to run the code from the repository without installing the .NET SDK, use Docker: it builds the same source inside a container.

These are the same commands that build the ready-made downloads: the installers are built by GitHub from this repository, with the workflow release.yml.

1. Get the code:

   git clone https://github.com/angelonardone/DistributedCryptography
   cd DistributedCryptography

2. Build. The first command compiles the application and the second one adds the program that starts it:

   Windows

   dotnet publish src\build\Deployment.slnx -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained true
   dotnet publish src\build\GxWebStartup\GxWebStartup.csproj -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained true -o web\bin

   Mac

   dotnet publish src/build/Deployment.slnx -c Release -r osx-arm64 --self-contained true
   dotnet publish src/build/GxWebStartup/GxWebStartup.csproj -c Release -r osx-arm64 --self-contained true -o web/bin

   On a Mac with an Intel processor use -r osx-x64 instead of -r osx-arm64.

   Linux

   cp src/Directory.build.props src/Directory.Build.props
   dotnet publish src/build/Deployment.slnx -c Release -r linux-x64 --self-contained true
   dotnet publish src/build/GxWebStartup/GxWebStartup.csproj -c Release -r linux-x64 --self-contained true -o web/bin

   On ARM use -r linux-arm64 instead of -r linux-x64. The first line is needed because Linux tells upper-case and lower-case letters apart in file names.

3. Start the program from the web folder:

   Windows

   cd web
   bin\GxWebStartup.exe

   Mac

   cd web
   ./bin/GxWebStartup

   Linux

   cd web
   ./bin/GxWebStartup

4. In another terminal, open the application in your browser:

   Windows

   start http://localhost:5000/wallet.wallets

   Mac

   open http://localhost:5000/wallet.wallets

   Linux

   xdg-open localhost:5000/wallet.wallets
