Contributing

Compiling from Source

Note: NPM is NOT required for compiling, it is only here for formatting and linting while editing the code. It does not affect runtime at all.

Make sure flatpak and git are installed, then run the following to build from the repo:

# Clone this repo and enter it
git clone https://github.com/flattool/ignition
cd ignition

# Initialize submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive

# Install build dependencies
flatpak install org.flatpak.Builder org.gnome.Sdk//49 org.gnome.Platform//49 runtime/org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.node22//25.08 -y

# Build, install, and run Ignition
./run.sh

Formatting

Ignition uses ESLint for code formatting.

• Install it and its dependencies using npm install inside the project root
• It should work out of the box, no configuration needed
