Petmate PETSCII Editor

A Commodore 64 PETSCII graphics editor written in React/Redux/Electron.

Documentation & downloads: https://nurpax.github.io/petmate/

The rest of this document is intended for Petmate developers.

Building and running on Linux

These instructions assume Node.js v18+ and npm. yarn is not required.

System dependencies

Building a .deb package requires fakeroot and dpkg-dev:

sudo apt install fakeroot dpkg-dev

Install Node dependencies

npm install

Run in development mode

npm start

This starts the React dev server and launches Electron pointing at it.

Note: The start script sets NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider scoped to the React dev server only (required for webpack compatibility with Node.js v17+), and passes --no-sandbox to Electron (required on Linux systems where the Chrome sandbox setuid binary is not configured).

Package as a .deb

First build the production React bundle, then run electron-builder:

npm run build
npm run dist-linux

This produces a .deb package at dist/petmate_<version>_amd64.deb.

To install it:

sudo apt install ./dist/petmate_*_amd64.deb
