## Installation

Find the latest version of Allusion on the [Releases](https://github.com/allusion-app/Allusion/releases) page.

The application can be automatically updated when a new version becomes available.

## Development

### Quick Start

You need to have [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) and a package manager such as [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/) installed.

Then run the following commands to get started:

1. Run `yarn install` to install or update all necessary dependencies.

2. Run `yarn dev` to build the project files to the `/build` directory. This will keep running to immediately build changed files when they are updated.

3. In a second terminal, run `yarn start` to start the application. Refresh the window (Ctrl/Cmd + R) after modifying a file to load the updated build files.

### Release Build

An installable executable can be built using `yarn package` for your platform in the `/dist` folder. The building is performed using the [electron-builder](https://www.electron.build/) package, and is configured by a section in the `package.json` file.

Builds are automatically published to Github Releases when a tag is created in GitHub.
