However, using portable `zip` distribution, you can have several Nextcloud Talk instances run simultaneously. Just rename the executable from default `Nextcloud Talk` to a custom name. For example: ``` /path/to/apps/ ├── home-apps/ │ └── Nextcloud Talk/ │ ├── ... │ ├── Nextcloud Talk (Home).exe │ └── ... └── work-apps/ └── Nextcloud Talk/ ├── ... ├── Nextcloud Talk (Work).exe └── ... ``` ## 🛠️ Development Setup 1. Install dependencies ```bash npm ci ``` 2. Nextcloud Talk Desktop requires [Nextcloud Talk source code](https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed). - **No `nextcloud/spreed` is cloned?**\ Clone it and install dependencies: ```sh # Clone Talk to the repository root git clone https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed # Install dependencies npm ci --prefix=spreed ``` - **You want to reuse existing `nextcloud/spreed`, for instance, in a server setup?**\ Set `TALK_PATH` ENV variable or edit `.env` file: ```sh cp .env.example .env # Edit .env and set TALK_PATH TALK_PATH=/path/to/nextcloud/server/apps-extra/spreed/ ``` 3. Check `.env.example` for any additional configuration if needed. ## 🧑‍💻 Development ### Start development server in Electron ```bash npm run dev ``` ### Build binaries for production ```bash # 🖥️ Current platform and architecture npm run build # 🐧 Linux (x64) npm run build:linux # 🍏 macOS (universal) npm run build:mac # 🍏 macOS (separate x64 and arm64) npm run build:mac:x64 npm run build:mac:arm64 # 🪟 Windows (win32-x64) npm run build:windows ``` Notes: - **General recommendation is to always build binaries on the same platform** - Building Windows binaries on Linux/Mac requires Wine - Building Mac binaries on Windows is not supported - Building Linux binaries on Windows is not supported for some Linux distributions ### Maintenance #### Generating icons After changing source icons, to generate icons in different sizes and formats, run: ```bash npm run generate-icons ``` #### Updating global (server) styles Talk frontend depends on the global Nextcloud server styles. To manually get them run: ```bah # node ./scripts/fetch-server-styles.mjs , for example node ./scripts/fetch-server-styles.mjs stable29 ``` ## 📦 Packaging distributions ```bash # 🐧 Linux (x64) npm run package:linux # 🍏 macOS (universal) npm run package:mac # 🍏 macOS (separate x64 and arm64) npm run package:mac:arm64 npm run package:mac:x64 # 🪟 Windows (win32-x64) npm run package:windows ``` ## 👥 Contribution Guidelines See: https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed#contribution-guidelines
