Choose How to Install

If you want to use prefab as your app generator, simply install the prefab binaries. The prefab binaries have no external dependencies.

To contribute to the prefab source code or documentation, you should fork the prefab GitHub project and clone it to your local machine.

Finally, you can install the prefab source code with go, build the binaries yourself, and run prefab that way. Building the binaries is an easy task for an experienced go getter.

Install prefab as Your Site Generator (Binary Install)

Use the installation instructions in the prefab documentation. TBD: steps to get release binary for different plaform

Build and Install the Binaries from Source (Advanced Install)

Prerequisite Tools

• git client
• Go (tested with 1.12)

Fetch from GitHub

Prefab uses the Go Modules support built into Go 1.12 to build. The easiest is to clone prefab in a directory outside of GOPATH, as in the following example:

> mkdir $HOME/src
> cd $HOME/src
> git clone https://github.com/yantrashala/prefab.git
> cd prefab
> go run mage.go install

If you are a Windows user, substitute the $HOME environment variable above with %USERPROFILE%.

Getting started for prefab Developers

> git clone https://github.com/yantrashala/prefab.git

Build and run in docker (suggested)

> cd prefab
> docker build -t ps/fab .
...
> docker run --rm -it -p9876:9876 ps/fab ./fab server

or if you have optional prereqs installed locally try

> cd prefab
> go get ./
> cd ui
> npm install
> npm run build
> cd ..
> go get -d -v
> go test ./...
> go run main.go server 

or use the make file locally

> cd prefab
> make compile
> make start-server
...
...
> make stop-server

or use mage locally

> go get -d github.com/magefile/mage
> go run $GOPATH/src/github.com/magefile/mage/bootstrap.go install
> cd prefab
> mage prefab
>./bin/fab server

or use chokidar for watch and recompile locally

first install chokidar globally (assuming node & npm are alreadt installed)

> npm install -g chokidar-cli

> cd prefab
> make compile
> make watch run="make stop-server go-get go-build start-server"
...

Prerequisites
