# mpckit

Application to create basic MPC Sample starter projects from your desktop.

## Development

mpckit is a [Wails v3](https://v3.wails.io) app: Go for all file work, Svelte + TypeScript for the window.

You need:

- Go 1.26 or newer
- Node.js (current LTS) with npm
- The Wails CLI: `go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/cmd/wails3@v3.1.0`
- On Windows, the WebView2 runtime (already part of Windows 11). On Linux, the GTK and WebKitGTK development packages that `wails3 doctor` lists.

Then, from the repository root (cmd, PowerShell or a shell):

```
wails3 doctor      # checks the tools above
wails3 dev         # builds and opens the app; reloads on changes
wails3 build       # builds bin/mpckit (bin\mpckit.exe on Windows)
```

The first run installs the frontend packages and generates `frontend/bindings` from the Go service.

Tests: `go test ./...`. On Linux without the GTK packages, use `CGO_ENABLED=0 go test -tags purego ./...` instead.

`go run ./cmd/mpckit-cli` builds a project from the command line, `go run ./tools/checkpoint-a` builds the device test pack (see its README), and `go run ./tools/xpjdiff A.xpj B.xpj` compares two projects (the .xpj contents and the data folders).
