#Build

##Linux

• install NodeJS (preferably the latest) and Git
• git clone https://github.com/dyalog/ride --depth=1
• cd ride
• npm i # npm is a tool that comes with nodejs, it downloads js dependencies
• ./dist.sh linux64 # downloads NW.js on first run, may take a few minutes
• build/ride20/linux64/ride20 # start RIDE

##Windows

• install Virtual Box
• install Vagrant
• install GitHub for Windows – set your Git Shell to bash in the options
• clone ride in GitHub for Windows
• right-click repository and Open in git Shell
• run ./vagrantbuild.sh

##OS X

• install Virtual Box
• install Vagrant
• install git
• clone ride
• cd to "ride" directory
• run ./vagrantbuild.sh

The build process will automatically launch RIDE once it has finished building. The first build will take a long time.

When you are finished building, run vagrant halt to stop the virtual build machine.
