## Requirements
|
|
|
|
**Xcode**:
|
|
|
|
Install the latest XCode from the App Store. Open it at least once
|
|
so it installs the command line tools.
|
|
|
|
**Homebrew & Homebrew Deps**:
|
|
|
|
Install Homebrew from <https://brew.sh/>
|
|
|
|
Then install deps:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ brew install rsync bazelisk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Install Python 3.8**:
|
|
|
|
Install Python 3.8 from <https://python.org>. You may be able to use
|
|
the Homebrew version instead, but this is untested.
|
|
|
|
Python 3.9 is not currently recommended, as pylint does not support it yet.
|
|
|
|
You do not need to set up a Python venv prior to building Anki.
|
|
|
|
When you run "python" in a shell, if it shows Python 2.x, you may get a
|
|
bunch of hashlib warnings during build. You can work around this by
|
|
pointing python to python3.8:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ ln -sf /usr/local/bin/{python3.8,python}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This linking will not work if you're using the system Python from Big Sur,
|
|
which is one of the reasons why we recommend using Python from python.org.
|
|
|
|
## Running Anki during development
|
|
|
|
From the top level of Anki's source folder:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will build Anki and run it in place.
|
|
|
|
The first build will take a while, as it downloads and builds a bunch of
|
|
dependencies. When the build is complete, Anki will automatically start.
|
|
|
|
To play audio, use Homebrew to install mpv. At the time of writing, recording is
|
|
not yet supported, as currently pyaudio is not being installed.
|
|
|
|
## Optimized builds
|
|
|
|
The `./run` command will create a non-optimized build by default. This is faster
|
|
to compile, but will mean Anki will run considerably slower.
|
|
|
|
To run Anki in optimized mode, use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./scripts/runopt
|
|
```
|
|
|
