Add `--32bits` argument if your system is 32-bits.\n\nStart: Once the build finished, use `./start.sh` to open the application. You can open a JavaScript project in two ways: click on the open button and choose the directory, or drag and drop it.\n\n### System requirements\n\nHunter runs under Linux, OS X, and Windows.\n[NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) (version \u003e= 6) must be available in the PATH of your system.\n\n## Development\n\nThere are two main alternatives to get a Pharo image with Hunter loaded on it:\n\n* Execute `./build.sh --dev` in a terminal, then execute `./pharo-ui Pharo.image`.\n* Download a Pharo 7 image by yourself, then load the `BaselineOfHunter`.\n\nFor the second alternative, you can evaluate the following inside Pharo:\n\n```smalltalk\nMetacello new\n\tbaseline: 'Hunter';\n\trepository: 'github://dorellang/hunter:master/src';\n\tload.\n```\n\n## License\n\nThe code is licensed under [MIT](LICENSE).\n\n## Academia\n\n*Evaluating a Visual Approach for Understanding JavaScript Source Code*, by Martín Dias, Diego Orellana, Santiago Vidal, Leonel Merino, Alexandre Bergel.
