Before you build

There are some assets that require NPM to build the assets prior to the project building. These have been configured to use an MSBUILD pre-build step and should not require any extra steps but should you run into any issues or want to build these ahead of time, take the following steps

1. Navigate to ClientLib folder in Elsa.Studio.DomInterop: cd .\src\framework\Elsa.Studio.DomInterop\ClientLib
2. Get NPM ready to run: npm install
3. Build the assets: npm run build
4. Navigate to ClientLib folder in Elsa.Studio.Workflows.Designer: cd .\src\modules\Elsa.Studio.Workflows.Designer\ClientLib
5. Get NPM ready to run: npm install
6. Build the assets: npm run build

Build and Run

1. Restore .NET dependencies: dotnet restore Elsa.Studio.sln
2. Build the project: dotnet build Elsa.Studio.sln
3. For Blazor Server Host: dotnet run --project .\src\hosts\Elsa.Studio.Host.Server\Elsa.Studio.Host.Server.csproj --framework net8.0
