This repository is the master repository for Ring. It contains a build script, make-ring.py, that can be used to build and install ring from source on different platforms.

More documentation can be found on http://docs.ring.cx. You may also build the documentation with make docs. The documentation will be built in docs/build/html.

The Ring installer uses python3. Please make sure it is installed before running it.

./make-ring.py --init

It initializes and updates the submodules to set them at the top of their master branch. This is ideal to have the latest development version.

However, in order to build a specific version of Ring, such as the Production one, please use

git submodule update --init

1. Build and install all the dependencies:

./make-ring.py --dependencies

Your distribution's package manager will be used.

2. Build and install locally under this repository:

./make-ring.py --install

3. Run daemon and client that were installed locally:

./make-ring.py --run

You can then stop the processes with CTRL-C.

You can also run them in the background with the --background argument and then use the --stop command to stop them. Stdout and stderr go to daemon.log and client-gnome.log.

./make-ring.py --install --global-install

Run global install:

gnome-ring

This already starts the daemon automatically for us.

Uninstall the global install:

./make-ring.py --uninstall

You need to setup Homebrew (<http://brew.sh/>) since their is no built-in package manager on OSX.

Build and install all the dependencies:

./make-ring.py --dependencies

Build and install locally under this repository:

./make-ring.py --install

You can find the .app file in the ./install/client-macosx folder.

Please make sure you have the Android SDK and NDK installed, and that their paths are properly set. For further information, please visit <https://github.com/savoirfairelinux/ring-client-android>

Build and install locally under this repository:

./make-ring.py --install --distribution=Android

You can find the .apk file in the ./client-android/ring-android/app/build/outputs
