## Usage

[Download the latest release!](https://hyper.is/#installation)

If you're on macOS, you can also use [Homebrew Cask](https://caskroom.github.io/) to download the app by running these commands:

```bash
brew update
brew cask install hyper
```

If you're on windows, you can use [chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/) to install the app by running the following command (package information can be found [here](https://chocolatey.org/packages/hyper/)):

## Contribute

1. Install the dependencies
  * If you are running Linux, install `icnsutils`, `graphicsmagick`, `xz-utils` and `rpm`
  * If you are running Windows, install `windows-build-tools` with `npm i -g windows-build-tools`.
2. [Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) this repository to your own GitHub account and then [clone](https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/) it to your local device
3. Install the dependencies: `npm install`
4. Build the code and watch for changes: `npm run dev`
5. In another terminal tab/window/pane, run the app: `npm run app`

To make sure that your code works in the finished application, you can generate the binaries like this:

```bash
npm run dist
```

After that, you'll see the binary in the `./dist` folder!

### node-pty issues

If after building during development you get an alert dialog related to `node-pty` issues,
make sure its build process is working correctly by running `npm run rebuild-node-pty`.

If you're on macOS, this typically is related to Xcode issues (like not having agreed
to the Terms of Service by running `sudo xcodebuild` after a fresh Xcode installation).
