Installation

Prerequisites

Node.js 20+ (engine requirement: >=17.0.0)
npm (included with Node.js)
IOTA CLI (installed automatically by the build script, or manually via brew install iotaledger/tap/iota)

git clone https://github.com/deduzzo/iotapolis.git
cd iotapolis
npm install

Install frontend dependencies:

cd frontend
npm install
cd ..

Build the Move smart contract:

npm run move:build

This command will automatically install the IOTA CLI (if missing), fetch the IOTA Move framework, and compile the contract in move/forum/.

Build and deploy to testnet:

npm run move:deploy

Starts the Sails.js backend and the Vite dev server concurrently (backend on port 1337, frontend on port 5173):

npm run dev

Build the frontend first, then start the server on a single port (1337):

npm run build
npm start

Development mode:

npm run desktop:dev

Build for the current platform:

npm run desktop:build

Platform-specific builds:

npm run desktop:build:win    # Windows .exe
npm run desktop:build:mac    # macOS .dmg
npm run desktop:build:linux  # Linux .AppImage

Create a new versioned release (interactive script that bumps version, builds, tags, and creates a GitHub Release):

npm run release
