Installing for Linux, Mac OSX, or Windows

Precompiled packages will be available when we hit our first beta build. Until then, everyone will have to install from source.

Installing From Source

Source code can be obtained by cloning the keymail repository from github with git clone https://github.com/NachoBits/keymail. Because KeyMail is built on top of Node-Webkit, it will have to be installed as well.

Installing Node-Webkit

###NPM The easiest way to get Node-Webkit is to install it via NPM with npm install -g nw.

###From GitHub The Node-Webkit team provides packages for Linux, OSX, and Linux in their GitHub repo as well that can be found here https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/tree/master.

##Running Keymail Dependencies for KeyMail are not in the GitHub repo, so they will have to be installed with NPM.

npm install

In the directory where KeyMail was downloaded to will install the Node.js dependencies. Front end dependencies are managed with Bower, which should have been installed as a dependency. A bower install should take care the front end dependencies.

Once everything is installed, the command nw . in the KeyMail directory or nw <keymail directory> will run the application.
