Desktop applications of Hermes Messenger created using Electron.
You can either compile the code yourself, or you can also download pre-compiled binaries of the app from the releases page. We have binaries for Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
Download the corresponding installer and run it, just like if you were installing any other program.
Note: The installers are not signed (we don't have a certificate for it), so you may get some security warnings when running it. However, the code is perfectly safe (you can look at the code yourself, it's all saved in this repo).
The file in the releases page is an executable, so you just have to download it, mark it as executable and run it.
No installation is necessary, and all dependencies are packed into the file.
To run the app locally, use:
npm install && npm startThis will open a new window with the program.
We have Travis CI set up to automatically compile the app after each commit, but if you want you can do this yourself.
To create binaries for your operating system, use:
npm run buildTo create binaries for a specific operating system, use:
npm run build-win
npm run build-osx
npm run build-linux To create binaries for all operating systems, use:
npm run build-allThe newly created binaries will be inside the dist/ folder.
NOTE: Mac OS binaries can only be built on that operating system, and npm run build-all will error out if running on a different OS. You can use npm run build-winlinux to skip the Mac OS builds and only create them for Windows and Linux.
