## Building/Compiling LiveMe Pro Tools
22

3-
*This document will contain directions on how to compile LiveMe Pro Tools from source when we have time to write the steps.*
3+
## Building on Linux
4+
First of all, you will need to install Node.js and make sure it works.
5+
- [Follow the instructions provided here to install it](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/)
6+
- [Then follow these instructions to test if it works correctly](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/development-environment#setting-up-linux)
7+
If both commands return a version number, you should be good to go.

If you've been using LMPT for a while, you probably want to back up your settings, bookmarks, etc. before you build a new version. Copy the following files from `/home/your_username/.config/Electron` to some safe location:
10+
- Preferences
11+
- Settings
12+
- bookmarks.json
13+
- downloaded.json
14+
- errored.json
15+
- follows.json
16+
- ignored.json
17+
- profiles.json
18+
- queued.json
19+
- watched.json
20+
21+
1. Clone the repository to some directory:
22+
`git clone https://github.com/thecoder75/liveme-pro-tools.git`
23+
24+
2. `cd` into that directory:
25+
`cd liveme-pro-tools`
26+
27+
3. Issue the command `npm install` to download the dependencies
28+
29+
4. Issue `npm start` to start the app
30+
31+
That's it!
32+
If you want to work on the code, you'll need to close all running instances of the app, issue the command `npm rebuild` and restart the app to see your changes.
