Installing

You can find prebuilt binaries for Min here. Alternatively, skip to the
section below for instructions on how to build Min directly from source.


Developing

If you want to develop Min:

- Install Node.
- Run npm install to install dependencies.
- Build the translation files and a copy of the JS by running
npm run build.
- You can also watch for changes and automatically rebuild by
running npm run watch.
- Start Min by running node_modules/.bin/electron ..1
- After you make changes, you can press ctrl+r (or cmd+r on Mac) twice
to restart the browser.

1: _Make sure no Min instance is already running before starting the
development version of Min._

Building binaries

In order to build Min from source, follow the installation instructions
above, then use one of the following commands to create binaries: *
npm run buildWindows * npm run buildMac * npm run buildLinux

Depending on the platform you are building for, you may need to install
additional dependencies: * If you are using macOS and building a package
for Linux, install Homebrew, then run brew install fakeroot dpkg first.
* If you are using macOS or Linux and building a package for Windows,
you will need to install Mono and Wine.

Contributing Translations

Thanks for taking the time to translate Min! To add translations for
your local language:

- Find the language code that goes with your language from this list.
- In the localization/languages directory, create a new file, and name
it “.json”.
- Open your new file, and copy the contents of the
localization/languages/en-US.json file into your new file.
- Change the “identifier” field in the new file to the language code
from step 1.
- Inside the file, replace each English string in the right-hand
column with the equivalent translation.
- (Optional) See your translations live by following the development
instructions above. Min will display in the same language as your
operating system, so make sure your computer is set to the same
language that you’re translating.
- That’s it! Make a pull request with your changes.
