Development Quickstart
======================
.. _npm: https://www.npmjs.com/
Searx loves developers, just clone and start hacking. All the rest is done for
you simply by using :ref:`make <makefile>`.
.. code:: sh
git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git searx
Here is how a minimal workflow looks like:
1. *start* hacking
2. *run* your code: :ref:`make run`
3. *test* your code: :ref:`make test`
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.
If you implement themes, you will need to compile styles and JavaScript before
*run*.
.. code:: sh
make themes.all
Don't forget to install npm_ first.
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Ubuntu / debian
.. code:: sh
sudo -H apt-get install npm
.. group-tab:: Arch Linux
.. code-block:: sh
sudo -H pacman -S npm
.. group-tab:: Fedora / RHEL
.. code-block:: sh
sudo -H dnf install npm
If you finished your *tests* you can start to commit your changes. To separate
the changed code from the build products first run:
.. code:: sh
make static.build.restore
This will restore the old build products and only your changes of the code
remain in the working tree which can now be added & commited. When all sources
are commited, you can commit the build products simply by:
.. code:: sh
make static.build.commit
Commiting the build products should be the last step, just before you send us
your PR. There is also a make target to rewind this last build commit:
.. code:: sh
make static.build.drop
