Developer setup

Install VSCode, NodeJS 16, mongoDB and RabbitMQ

Install gulp and typescript globally npm i gulp typescript browserify tsify -g

Clone this repo into a folder, in a shell type git clone https://github.com/open-rpa/openflow.git

go to the folder with OpenCore cd openflow

install packages for OpenCore api/web npm i

Now open in VS code code . at the top level create a folder called config and inside create a file called .env ( notice it starting with a dot) and add this content to the file

auto_create_users=true
aes_secret=7TXsxf7cn9EkUqm5h4MEWGjzkxkNCk2K
port=80

Next you need to allow powershell scripts to run, i don’t know what is the recommended setting, i normally just go with bypass Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Force

Now you can run this by going to run ( Ctrl+Shit+D) and selecting OpenCore in the dropdown box and press play button. This will serve an empty webpage, so we need to build the stylesheets and copy the compiled files to the dist folder, so go to the Terminal tab and add a new shell, then type npm run sass

Lastly we can bundle and minify the asserts to the dist folder, by typing gulp watch

You can now access OpenCore web on http://localhost.openiap.io

Building docker image

From version 1.5 the docker images is now using build images, so simply run

npm run compose

to compile an image with :version and :edge tag This will also try to publish to docker hub, if you don’t have an account, just ignore the error To compile with :latest and :version tag use

npm run latest`
