## Development
### Preparations
#### Install Linux OS dependencies
[Guide: Linux distribution specific dependencies](docs/linux.md)
#### Fix native modules to match current electron node version
```bash
$ npm run rebuild
```
### Install dependencies
Run the following command to install all dependencies, and link sibling modules with Franz.
```bash
$ npx lerna bootstrap
```
If you previously ran `npm install` it sometimes is necessary to delete your `node_modules` folder before running `npx lerna bootstrap`.
### Run Ferdi Development App
Run these two commands __simultaneously__ in different console tabs.
```bash
$ npm run dev
$ npm run start
```
Be aware that the development database will be reset regularly.
## Packaging
```bash
$ npm run build
```
Deliverables will be available in the ./out folder.
