Pre-requisites
- Download the installer for Node.js 6 or greater.
- You can also install NodeJS LTS from Fedora repos using dnf:
sudo dnf install nodejs
- Install the ionic CLI globally:
npm install -g ionic
- Install compilers and headers, required by native addons:
- Python
sudo dnf install python2
- Note: Python 3 is not supported. See the requirements here.
- GCC, G++ and make
sudo dnf install gcc gcc-c++ make
- GNU Autotools
sudo dnf install autoconf automake
- libpng headers
sudo dnf install libpng-devel
Note: You may need to add “sudo” in front of any global commands to install the utilities. See npm documentation for more details.
Building for Android
- Install Java compilers:
sudo dnf install java-devel
- Install Android SDK and the system packages documented here
- Install Gradle. Unfortunately, Fedora repos includes a rather old version of Gradle, so we recommend you to follow the instructions documented here
- Configure your
JAVA_HOME
and ANDROID_HOME
to point to Java and Android SDK installation directories respectively.
Getting Started
- Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/sumantro93/Fedora-Community-App.git
.
- Run
npm install
from the project root.
- Run
ionic serve
in a terminal from the project root.
- Open http://localhost:8100 to preview your app.
- Profit. :tada:
Deploying
- PWA - Run
npm run ionic:build --prod
and then push the www
folder to your favorite hosting service
- Android - Run
ionic cordova run android --prod
- iOS - Run
ionic cordova run ios --prod
Ommitting the --prod
will generate a debug build which is useful for Android/iOS remote debugging.
Using Ionic DevApp for rapid testing on mobile devices
Ionic DevApp is a free app that makes it easy to run your Ionic apps directly on an iOS or Android device. This avoids the cumbersome Native SDK installations.
- Install Ionic DevApp on your phone.
- Connect your phone and computer to the same network.
- Run
ionic serve -c
from the project root.
- Open Ionic DevApp and lanuch Fedora app from the list of available apps.
Note: Network policies and firewalls may interfere with Ionic DevApp, in that case try on a different network
