IOTA Trinity Desktop Wallet

Testing Build Status Deployment Build Status

This is the repository for the IOTA Trinity Desktop Wallet. The application is based on React and built on Electron.

Required Dependencies

  • NodeJS (Recommended version - 10.15.3)
  • NPM (automatically installed with NodeJS)

On Windows platforms you'll need to install build tools to compile native modules:

# Install Visual C++ Build Tools and Python 2.7
npm install --global windows-build-tools

# Install OpenSSL VC++ Static 64bit Library
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg C:\src\vcpkg
cd C:\src\vcpkg
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
.\vcpkg install openssl:x64-windows-static

Additionally on Windows 7 install .NET Framework 4.5.1

On Linux platforms you'll need to install additional packages to compile native modules:

sudo apt install build-essential libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev libsecret-1-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib 

# Fedora only:
yum install libusbx-devel

1. Installing dependencies

After installing the shared dependencies, install the desktop dependencies:

npm run deps:desktop

Then, navigate to this directory:

cd src/desktop

2. Prepare Trinity desktop appplication

When the npm install is done you can prepare the wallet application for compilation by running:

npm run build

Then, you can either compile a production version (3a) or development version (3b) of Trinity:

3a. Compile Trinity desktop appplication

After the application is prepared you can compile the wallet application by running:

npm run compile:mac

Change mac to your operating system - mac, win or linux.

This will start the building process for the Trinity Desktop application and could take a couple of minutes to finish.

After the building is finished, the application executable and installation files will be located in the directory src/desktop/out/.

3b. Run Trinity desktop app in development mode

To start the application in development mode, run

npm start

The application window will open automatically once the build is ready.

Development mode troubleshooting

Wallet does not start after updating codebase to newer version

  • First, try to reinstall dependencies by running npm install and build the walelt again with npm run build as, most probably, the wallet dependencies have been updated and the configuration has changed.

  • Development environment does not clear user configuration files after switching between different Trinity versions. You have to do it manually by removing the directory yourself:

# On macOS
rm -rf ~/Library/Application Support/Electron

# On Windows
Remove-Item –path %APPDATA%/Electron –recurse

# On Linux
rm -rf ~/.config/Electron

Wallet starts with a blank screen

  • Try to reload the application with ctrl+r (cmd+r on macOS) while the Developer tools window is focused
  • Check Developer tools console for any errors - try to fix them or report at Trinity issues
