**This project is alpha quality.** You probably only want to use this if you like to send pull requests fixing things :)
## How it works
See [our site](http://moose-team.github.io/friends/) or the `gh-pages` branch.
## Install
### Prerequisites
You'll need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) (`>= 4`) and [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm) (`>= 2.8.3`).
### Build
Clone the source locally:
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/moose-team/friends
$ cd friends
```
Install project dependencies:
```sh
$ npm install
```
Compile leveldown for [electron](http://electron.atom.io/):
```sh
$ npm run rebuild-leveldb
```
If you are not on 64-bit architecture, you will have to modify the command in package.json:
```
"rebuild-leveldb": "cd node_modules/leveldown && set HOME=~/.electron-gyp && node-gyp rebuild --target=$(../../version.js) --arch=x64 --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell"
```
to use `--arch=ia32`.
## Usage
### GitHub Login
Friends currently uses your git and github configuration for authentication.
If you don't already have a public key on GitHub and corresponding private key on your machine, you'll need to [set that up first](https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/). Make sure your github username is also set, using `git config --global github.user yourusername`.
If you're having trouble getting this part to work, do this to get debug information:
```
$ npm i github-current-user -g
$ DEBUG=* github-current-user
```
and then report an [issue](https://github.com/moose-team/friends/issues).
**Note**: DSA keys are not supported. You should switch to RSA anyway for security reasons.
If it can't verify you, try doing `ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa`. Your key should show up when you run `ssh-add -l`.
### Run
To run from the command line, execute `npm start`.
To create a distributable app, run `npm run package`.
