# Signal nw.js

[nw.js](http://nwjs.io/) provides for easily running Chrome applications

in it's native app containers (which ship Node and all application files

as a standard platform native application.

## Building a Signal Desktop packaged application

First you need to install the NW builder:

```

npm install -g nw-builder

```

There's a shell script called `package.sh` which will prepare this repo to

produce a packaged app. So just do:

```

./package.sh

```

and then you should be able to execute

```

nwbuild -p Linux64 .

```

to build a package!

## Manually running signal in nw.js

If you want to do this yourself you can do the following (after installing

[nw.js](http://nwjs.io/):

```

git clone [email protected]:WhisperSystems/Signal-Desktop.git

cd Signal-Desktop

npm install

grunt

nw ./dist

```

and that's it!
