Helios

Helios IDE for Amber Smalltalk

How to contribute

There are two ways how to contribute. In both way you need to fork this repo first.

First way is by cloning your fork and setting it up (have node and npm installed, have bower, grunt-cli and amber-cli npm packages installed globally, then run npm install, bower install and grunt devel in the project directory, after what you can go the classical Amber project way of running amber serve from CLI and go to http://localhost:4000/ in the browser). This way you can only contribute to Helios itself.

As Helios is still coupled with Amber, you need occasionally make change to Amber itself, not just to Helios code. Thus, recommended way is to fork and clone Amber repository itself for development (see https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/amber/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md, "Setup your Amber clone" part and use your own fork in the "clone Helios" step). This allows you to develop Amber itself, amber-cli and Helios at once.
