# Getting LDtk latest version
Visit [LDtk.io](https://ldtk.io) to get latest version.
# Building from source
## Requirements
- **[Haxe compiler](https://haxe.org)**: you need an up-to-date and working Haxe install to build LDtk.
- **[NPM](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)**: this package manager is used for various install and packaging scripts. It is packaged with NodeJS.
## Installing required stuff
- Open a command line **in the `ldtk` root dir**,
- Install required Haxe libs:
```
haxe setup.hxml
```
- Install Electron locally and other dependencies through NPM (**IMPORTANT**: you need to be in the `app` dir):
```
cd app
npm i
```
## Compiling *master* branch
First, from the root of the repo, build the electron **Main**:
```
haxe main.debug.hxml
```
This should create a `app/assets/main.js` file.
Then, build the electron **Renderer**:
```
haxe renderer.debug.hxml
```
This should create `app/assets/js/renderer.js`.
## Compiling another branch
If you want to try a future version of LDtk, you can checkout branches named `dev-x.y.z` where x.y.z is version number.
**IMPORTANT**:
- these *dev* branches might be unstables, or even broken. Therefore, it's not recommended to use, unless you plan to add or fix something on LDtk.
- because *dev* branches might change quickly, you will need to update haxelibs often.
- you will need to switch the *LDtk haxe API* to the **same** branch as LDtk repo. (adapt the branch name below accordingly):
```
haxelib git ldtk-haxe-api https://github.com/deepnight/ldtk-haxe-api.git dev-0.6.0
```
## Running
From a command line in the `app` folder, run:
```
npm run start
```
