Optional Requirements
These are optional requirements if you want to build Electron apps or want to use TypeScript as a scripting language.
Open up a Terminal window (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal).
Homebrew
Install Homebrew if you don't already have it installed.
Homebrew is a free and open-source software package management system that simplifies the installation of software on Apple's macOS operating system.
$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
npm
Install node.js and npm if you have not already done so.
$ brew install npm
TypeScript
To use TypeScript scripting, install TypeScript.
$ npm install typescript -g
Babel
Optionally install Babel. Babel has support for the latest version of JavaScript (ES2015) through syntax transformation. Lianja will soon handle dynamic transpiling of JavaScript ES6 (.es6/.jsx files) to JavaScript ES5 (.js files) for you.
$ npm install babel-cli babel-preset-env -g
Electron
To build Lianja Electron Apps, install Electron.
npm install electron -g
npm install electron-packager -g
iOS Simulator
Optionally install the Command-line application launcher for the iOS Simulator. Be aware, this requires XCode to be installed which takes a while. You will need this if you intend to build React-native Apps in Lianja.
$ npm install ios-sim -g
Recommended Download
Whenever you need to create an installation package or distribution for Mac OS X 10.5 or later, "Packages" is the powerful and flexible solution you're looking for — and it is free. This is optional as Lianja App Builder for macOS provides packaging tools in the 'Deploy' workspace.
