Drop OSS

Building Drop client

To build the client, you need:

  • Node.js, and the pnpm package manager
  • Rust (nightly)

  1. Clone the repo

    Section titled “Clone the repo”
    Terminal window
    git clone https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop-app.git && cd drop-app

    We also include some libraries as submodules. Clone them too:

    Terminal window
    git submodule update --init --recursive

  2. Install build system dependencies

    Section titled “Install build system dependencies”

    Use pnpm to install the dependencies for our bespoke build system:

    Terminal window
    pnpm install

  3. Run the build

    Section titled “Run the build”

    Use tauri to build the app:

    Terminal window
    pnpm tauri build
