Looking Glass

Smart mirror system built on top of React NodeGUI.

Development

1. Install required OS tooling

   NodeGui requires CMake and Compilation Tools as it is a wrapper for a native C++ widget toolkit QT. Detailed instructions here: https://www.sitepoint.com/build-native-desktop-gif-searcher-app-using-nodegui/

   TL;DR:

   MacOS

   brew install cmake
   brew install make
   

   Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)

   sudo apt-get install pkg-config build-essential
   sudo apt-get install cmake make
   sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
   

   Linux (Fedora/RHEL/CentOS)

   sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
   sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"
   sudo dnf install mesa-libGL mesa-libGL-devel
   

2. Install and build node packages:

   # Install dependencies
   npm install
   
   # Run the dev server
   npm run dev
   
   # Open another terminal and run the app
   npm run start
   

Packaging

Note: Currently MacOS builds are not signed, which will cause MacOS to throw a securtiy warning when attemping to run the package.

1. Init the nodegui packer library

   npx nodegui-packer --init LookingGlass
   

2. Build the package

   npm run build
