## Downloads

You can download the latest version at https://github.com/Azure/BatchLabs/releases

## Building batchlabs yourself
#### 1. Prerequisites
- **Install node.js version `6.9` or greater. [Download](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)**
- Install python **3.6** (doesn't need to be in the path if that breaks your environment)

#### 2. Clone the repo
- At stable branch `git clone -b stable https://github.com/Azure/BatchLabs`
- Or for the latest changes `git clone https://github.com/Azure/BatchLabs`

Move to the directory `cd BatchLabs`

#### 3. Build the app with all in one command line(Windows only)
Call this command and it will check you have everything setup correctly and build the app.
```
.\scripts\install\install-windows
```
**You can skip all the other steps**

#### 4. Install the dependencies
```bash
npm install -g yarn
yarn install
pip3 install -r python/requirements.txt # or pip if on windows or only have python 3.6 installed
```
Note: You can also use `npm install` at your own risk. However please do not submit an issue if you didn't use `yarn install`. Yarn will make sure you have the right set of dependencies, which reduces the likelihood of any unexpected build issues relating to third party packages.

#### 4.5 Setup some configuration(Only in certain case)
If you didn't installed python in the path you will need to let batchlabs know where it is.
Set an environment variable called `BL_PYTHON_PATH` with that path to the python executable.
Batchlabs will look first to see if this environemnt variable is set if not try `python3` and then `python` to find an installation of python 3.6

#### 5. Build and run the application
```bash
# Make an executable, this will bundle all needed dependencies including node and python
npm run build-and-pack

# Manual
npm run build:prod
npm run electron:prod

# To debug errors
npm run build
npm run electron
```
