• Clone the frame repository using git clone (or your favourite GUI tool) using the URL https://github.com/gpit-futures/frame.git to an appropriate local directory.
• Open your chosen console (Node.js Command Prompt/Git-Bash/etc.).
• Navigate to <downloaded location>/frame/electron-frame and run the following commands:
  • npm install
  • npm install electron-forge
  • electron-forge start - (To start the application locally.)
  • electron-forge make - (To compile an executable for your environment. After compilation, the executable can be found in the /out/make directory.)
• Precompiled executables for windows/mac can be found here

• Ensure .NET Core 2.1 SDK is installed.
• Visual Studio 2017

• A working version of the core module and any other modules:

• this.frameworkBackendUrl = "http://ec2-18-130-26-44.eu-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:8080" - used to define where the back-end api is hosted.

To install the framework directly as an executable file simply download the latest version from Git Hub - note, that in order to show the communication between the systems, download the thick-client as well.
