Build Prereqs

Assuming Ubuntu 18.04. Adapt these instructions for your own system.

You need

• npm to build TypeScript
• tsc to compile
• jx to orchestrate the build properly
• [sidekick][sk] as a dependency
• Python 3.6 or later to run jx

Steps

# install node and tsc
sudo snap refresh
sudo snap install node --channel 18/stable
npm install -g typescript
# install dependencies
mkdir vanillae && cd vanillae
git clone https://gitlab.com/pharpend/jx
git clone https://gitlab.com/pharpend/sidekick
chmod u+x ~/.local/bin/jx
git clone https

Protip: avoid using sudo npm install -g

If you want to avoid using sudo

mkdir ~/.npm-packages
npm config set prefix "${HOME}/.npm-packages"

Edit ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc with

NPM_PACKAGES="${HOME}/.npm-packages"
export PATH=$NPM_PACKAGES/bin:$PATH

How to build

You need

• TypeScript compiler tsc
• HTTP logging server vlogd
• Build tool jx
• Build sidekick separately
• Python 3.6 or later
• make

Build

You need to build sidekick separately

make

Many of the examples assume there is an HTTP server at localhost:8841 which responds positively to POST requests at /

vlogd is such a server, but you can roll your own if you want.

make serve
firefox localhost:8001

Build

make
