browser-laptop-bootstrap

Everything you need to compile Muon and run Canopy

• fetches syncs code from all projects we define in package.json
  • fetches all 3rd party source code (Chromium) via depot_tools
  • sets the branch for Chromium (ex: 54.0.2840.100)
  • checks out Muon
  • checks out our fork of node as a dependency under Muon (along with other deps)
  • checks out canopy
• applies patches we have for 3rd party code (Chromium, node)

Build method 1

Please check out our wiki for build instructions and other information.

Build method 2 Running in Docker

You can compile muon for Linux using a Docker container.

First clone this repo and enter the repo directory:

git clone https://github.com/trigramco/browser-laptop-bootstrap.git canopy-bootstrap
cd canopy-bootstrap

Docker group

Before executing any Docker commands add your local user to the Docker group (https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/linux-postinstall/)

Start Docker then build the image from the Dockerfile:

docker build -t blb .

And run it, mounting the appropriate directories:

Linux/OSX

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/src -v $(pwd)/.sccache:/root/.cache/sccache blb

Windows

mkdir .sccache
docker run --rm -it -v %cd%:/src -v %cd%/.sccache:/root/.cache/sccache blb

Dependencies are included in the image so there's no need to run ./src/build/install-build-deps.sh.

Check your Docker user

From the Docker Container touch a file to see its user:group, if it is root you will want to run npm as node:node, for example:

su -c 'npm install' node
su -c 'npm run init' node

Now you can proceed with build scripts such as npm install, npm run init, npm run sync -- --all and npm run build -- --debug_build=true --official_build=false. See ./src/out for the results.

Electron

Once either build process is complete, Electron is available as ./src/out/brave

Running Canopy

Canopy is located at ./src/canopy https://github.com/trigramco/canopy/blob/master/README.md Executing Canopy (i.e. npm run dev) should run against ./src/out/brave
