Development Quickstart
======================
-.. sidebar:: :ref:`makefile`
+.. _npm: https://www.npmjs.com/
- For additional developer purpose there are :ref:`makefile`.
-
-This quickstart guide gets your environment set up with searx. Furthermore, it
-gives a short introduction to the ``manage.sh`` script.
-
-How to setup your development environment
-=========================================
-
-.. sidebar:: :ref:`make pyenv <make pyenv>`
-
- Alternatively use the :ref:`make pyenv`.
-
-First, clone the source code of searx to the desired folder. In this case the
-source is cloned to ``~/myprojects/searx``. Then create and activate the
-searx-ve virtualenv and install the required packages using ``manage.sh``.
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- cd ~/myprojects
- git clone https://github.com/asciimoo/searx.git
- cd searx
- virtualenv searx-ve
- . ./searx-ve/bin/activate
- ./manage.sh update_dev_packages
-
-
-How to run tests
-================
-
-.. sidebar:: :ref:`make test.unit <make test>`
-
- Alternatively use the ``test.pep8``, ``test.unit``, ``test.robot`` targets.
-
-Tests can be run using the ``manage.sh`` script. Following tests and checks are
-available:
-
-- Unit tests
-- Selenium tests
-- PEP8 validation
-- Unit test coverage check
-
-For example unit tests are run with the command below:
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- ./manage.sh unit_tests
-
-For further test options, please consult the help of the ``manage.sh`` script or
-read :ref:`make test`.
-
-
-How to compile styles and javascript
-====================================
-
-.. _less: http://lesscss.org/
-.. _NodeJS: https://nodejs.org
-
-How to build styles
--------------------
-
-Less_ is required to build the styles of searx. Less_ can be installed using
-either NodeJS_ or Apt.
+Searx loves developers, just clone and start hacking. All the rest is done for
+you simply by using :ref:`make <makefile>`.
.. code:: sh
- sudo -H apt-get install nodejs
- sudo -H npm install -g less
+ git clone https://github.com/searx/searx.git
-OR
+Here is how a minimal workflow looks like:
-.. code:: sh
+1. *start* hacking
+2. *run* your code: :ref:`make run`
+3. *test* your code: :ref:`make test`
- sudo -H apt-get install node-less
+If you think at some point something fails, go back to *start*. Otherwise,
+choose a meaningful commit message and we are happy to receive your pull
+request. To not end in *wild west* we have some directives, please pay attention
+to our ":ref:`how to contribute`" guideline.
-After satisfying the requirements styles can be build using ``manage.sh``
+If you implement themes, you will need to compile styles and JavaScript before
+*run*.
.. code:: sh
- ./manage.sh styles
-

-How to build the source of the oscar theme
-==========================================
-
-.. _grunt: https://gruntjs.com/
+ make themes
-Grunt_ must be installed in order to build the javascript sources. It depends on
-NodeJS, so first Node has to be installed.
+Don't forget to install npm_ first.
-.. code:: sh
-
- sudo -H apt-get install nodejs
- sudo -H npm install -g grunt-cli
+.. tabs::
-After installing grunt, the files can be built using the following command:
-
-.. code:: sh
+ .. group-tab:: Ubuntu / debian
- ./manage.sh grunt_build
+ .. code:: sh
+ sudo -H apt-get install npm
-Tips for debugging/development
-==============================
+ .. group-tab:: Arch Linux
-.. sidebar:: :ref:`make run`
+ .. code-block:: sh
- Makefile target ``run`` already enables debug option for your developer
- session / see :ref:`make run`.
+ sudo -H pacman -S npm
-Turn on debug logging
- Whether you are working on a new engine or trying to eliminate a bug, it is
- always a good idea to turn on debug logging. When debug logging is enabled a
- stack trace appears, instead of the cryptic ``Internal Server Error``
- message. It can be turned on by setting ``debug: False`` to ``debug: True`` in
- :origin:`settings.yml <searx/settings.yml>`.
+ .. group-tab:: Fedora / RHEL
-.. sidebar:: :ref:`make test`
+ .. code-block:: sh
- Alternatively use the :ref:`make test` targets.
+ sudo -H dnf install npm
-Run ``./manage.sh tests`` before creating a PR.
- Failing build on Travis is common because of PEP8 checks. So a new commit
- must be created containing these format fixes. This phase can be skipped if
- ``./manage.sh tests`` is run locally before creating a PR.
