## Let's make Bruno better, together!!
We are happy that you are looking to improve Bruno. Below are the guidelines to run Bruno on your computer.
### Technology Stack
Bruno is built using React and Electron.
Libraries we use
- CSS - Tailwind
- Code Editors - Codemirror
- State Management - Redux
- Icons - Tabler Icons
- Forms - formik
- Schema Validation - Yup
- Request Client - axios
- Filesystem Watcher - chokidar
- i18n - i18next
> [!IMPORTANT]
> You would need [Node v22.x or the latest LTS version](https://nodejs.org/en/). We use npm workspaces in the project
## Development
Bruno is a desktop app. Below are the instructions to run Bruno.
> Note: We use React for the frontend and rsbuild for build and dev server.
## Install Dependencies
```bash
# use nodejs 22 version
nvm use
# install deps
npm i --legacy-peer-deps
```
### Local Development
#### Build packages
##### Option 1
```bash
# build packages
npm run build:graphql-docs
npm run build:bruno-query
npm run build:bruno-common
npm run build:bruno-converters
npm run build:bruno-requests
npm run build:schema-types
npm run build:bruno-filestore
# bundle js sandbox libraries
npm run sandbox:bundle-libraries --workspace=packages/bruno-js
```
##### Option 2
```bash
# install dependencies and setup
npm run setup
```
#### Run the app
##### Option 1
```bash
# run react app (terminal 1)
npm run dev:web
# run electron app (terminal 2)
npm run dev:electron
```
##### Option 2
```bash
# run electron and react app concurrently
npm run dev
```
#### Customize Electron `userData` path
If `ELECTRON_USER_DATA_PATH` env-variable is present and its development mode, then `userData` path is modified accordingly.
e.g.
```sh
ELECTRON_USER_DATA_PATH=$(realpath ~/Desktop/bruno-test) npm run dev:electron
```
This will create a `bruno-test` folder on your Desktop and use it as the `userData` path.
### Troubleshooting
You might encounter a `Unsupported platform` error when you run `npm install`. To fix this, you will need to delete `node_modules` and `package-lock.json` and run `npm install`. This should install all the necessary packages needed to run the app.
```shell
# Delete node_modules in sub-directories
find ./ -type d -name "node_modules" -print0 | while read -d $'\0' dir; do
rm -rf "$dir"
done
# Delete package-lock in sub-directories
find . -type f -name "package-lock.json" -delete
```
### Testing
```bash
# run bruno-schema tests
npm run test --workspace=packages/bruno-schema
# run bruno-query tests
npm run test --workspace=packages/bruno-query
# run bruno-common tests
npm run test --workspace=packages/bruno-common
# run bruno-converters tests
npm run test --workspace=packages/bruno-converters
# run bruno-app tests
npm run test --workspace=packages/bruno-app
# run bruno-electron tests
npm run test --workspace=packages/bruno-electron
# run bruno-lang tests
npm run test --workspace=packages/bruno-lang
# run bruno-toml tests
npm run test --workspace=packages/bruno-toml
# run tests over all workspaces
npm test --workspaces --if-present
```
