Development

Svelte

Inside the app folder resides Svelte, you need to install dependencies by executing the following commands

Before anything else you need to build the Svelte project. You need to do this everytime you want to test the desktop application.

yarn build

Setup the Ultralight build folder, you only have to do this once by executing the following commands

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release
