Build Coding with Chrome - Binary Mac Application

Prerequisites

Please make sure you followed the Build pre-requisites before using this document.

Build the core files

In order to build the actual app you need first to build all core files. This step is normally needed only once and after an update of the core files. This could be done with the following command:

npm run build-core

Build the launcher

To compile the binary launcher run the build script with the following command:

npm run build-nw_app

Build the actual app

To compile the packed binary version run the build script with the following command:

npm run publish-nw_app-mac

The build version will be compiled in the /dist/binary/osx64 directory, together with all required packages and files.

Launch the app

Go into the /dist/binary/osx64 directory and double click on the binary file.

Troubleshooting
