## **deepnest**
A fast nesting tool for laser cutters and other CNC tools
deepnest is a desktop application originally based on [SVGNest](https://github.com/Jack000/SVGnest)
- New nesting engine with speed critical code written in C
- Merges common lines for laser cuts
- Support for DXF files (via conversion)
- New path approximation feature for highly complex parts
## This Fork
The primary goal has been to get deepnest buildable again, which has been achieved. Now I'm going to fix the bugs, that are reported origin to deepnest-io/Deepnest and other forks.
## Prerequisites
- **Node 20+:** [Node.js](https://nodejs.org). You can use the Node Version Manager (nvm):
- [nvm-windows](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases) to download Node and change versions.
- **Python 3.7.9 and up** You can use the Python Version Manager (pyenv):
- [pyenv-win](https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win) to download and change versions.
- **Visual Studio with Desktop Development with C++ extension**
- Install VS2022 from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/features/cplusplus/
- or, as an administrator via `npm install --global windows-build-tools` (older VS version)
For ubuntu (or when you're not sure how to build) look at the build workflow:
https://github.com/deepnest-next/deepnest/blob/main/.github/workflows/build.yml#L28
### Possible Problems
- On Windows 10 1905 or newer, you might need to **disable the built-in Python launcher** via
- **Start** > "**Manage App Execution Aliases**" and turning off the "**App Installer" aliases for Python**"
- close-and-open all command shells and your IDE to activate the latest setup
## Building
```sh
git clone https://github.com/deepnest-next/deepnest
cd deepnest
npm install
npm run build
npm run start
```
### Rebuild
```sh
# If you change the electron-related files (web files, javascript), a build with
npm run build
# If you change the the Minkowski files (the `.cc` or `.h` files):
npm run build-all
```
### Running
- `npm run start`
### Clean builds
```sh
npm run clean && npm run build
# full clean, incl. `node_modules`
npm run clean-all && npm install && npm run build
```
### Create a Distribution
```sh
npm run dist
# During development, you can combine `clean-all, build-all and dist` via:
npm run dist-all
```
The resulting files will be located in `.\deepnest--win32-x64`.
Create a zip file of this folder for a simple distribution.
## Debugging
If the environment variable "deepnest_debug" has a value of "1", deepnest will open the browser dev tools (debugger/inspector).
