How to develop

Assuming that you have Node installed and can use npm in command line.

• Run npm install to install dependency

• Usually it will trigger npm run download, or you can run it manually.

• If you want to debug with xcode/visual studio, run npm run debug to generate the project file and sdk for debug env.

Find more scripts in package.json

Notice:

• Must create a developer account at Agora.io, when you want to use Agora APIs.

• For macOS, please always use the latest Xcode.

• For Windows, if Visual Studio or Electron version are not the same as in script, change the corresponding parameters in the script. Electron 1.8.3+ needs Visual Studio 2015 or above. And you have to install a 32-bit electron by npm install -D --arch=ia32 electron
