Building the Wallet from Source#

Ensure Node.js version 20.11 is installed before attempting to build Minotaur:

  1. Clone the repository: 
    git clone [email protected]:minotaur-ergo/minotaur-wallet.git
  2. Navigate to the cloned directory and install dependencies: 
    cd minotaur-wallet
npm install
  3. Build the project with the following commands: 
    npm run build
npx cap sync
npx cap update
    The last two commands synchronize the codebase for Android and iOS platforms. For desktop builds, synchronize the Electron code with: 
    npx cap sync electron
npx cap update electron

Platform-Specific Builds#

Android#

Open the android directory within the project using Android Studio and proceed with the build process using the IDE or alternative build tools.

iOS#

iOS developers can open the project in Xcode and build the desired version directly from the IDE.

Desktop#

For desktop builds, enter the Electron directory and execute the following commands: 

npm run build
npm run electron:pack
npm run electron:make

MacOS#

Apple Silicon (M-series) users should opt for the arm64 build to avoid camera issues. If encountering a "damaged file" error, execute: 

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/minotaur.app
