Turtl desktop

This is the desktop app wrapper around the Turtl core. It provides a native experience for Windows, Linux, and OSx allowing local packaging of Turtl for desktop platforms.

Setup

Let's assume you have Node.js/NPM install already. Make sure you have NWJS installed on your machine and in your PATH.

mkdir turtl
cd turtl/
git clone https://github.com/turtl/js.git
git clone https://github.com/turtl/desktop.git
cd js/
npm install
cd ../desktop/
npm install

So we grab our Turtl js project's source and the mobile source as siblings (with the name "js" preserved...renaming js to something else will break the build).

Building

There are a few targets, but the most interesting is

make run

Which runs the build and opens nwjs with Turtl loaded. Then there's

make package

Which creates a package.nw file containing the app, ready to be run by any NWJS installation.
