If you're the type to jump right into code, simply search through the project (sans the node_modules folder) for the term TODO:. If you're on a UNIX (Linux & OSX) system, run grep -r 'TODO:' js plugins in a terminal at the root level of the project

Setting Up

git pull && git checkout integration. You will need to create a `bin` folder in the siaprime-ui directory. Then using the following folder structure, place your binaries (`spd, spc`) in there.

bin
linux
win
mac

1. install node 10 LTS
2. /usr/bin/node /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js install --scripts-prepend-node-path=auto
3. npm run rebuild

Dev environment
npm run dev

Build Executables

npm run package-linux
npm run package-mac

For linux, you will need to install wine to run a windows build. Building .dmg requires a mac.
