> "Open source cloud & desktop IDE."

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/CodeboxIDE/codebox.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/CodeboxIDE/codebox)

[![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/codebox.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/codebox)

Codebox is a complete and modular Cloud IDE. It can run on any unix-like machine (Linux, Mac OS X). It is an open source component of [codebox.io](https://www.codebox.io) (Cloud IDE as a Service).

The IDE can run on your desktop (Linux or Mac), on your server or the cloud. You can use the [codebox.io](https://www.codebox.io) service to host and manage IDE instances.

Codebox is built with web technologies: `node.js`, `javascript`, `html` and `less`. The IDE possesses a very modular and extensible architecture, that allows you to build your own features with through add-ons. Codebox is the first open and modular IDE capable of running both on the Desktop and in the cloud (with offline support).

The project is open source under the [Apache 2.0](https://github.com/FriendCode/codebox/blob/master/LICENSE) license.

A screencast of the IDE is available on [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvPEngyXA2A).
