System Configuration: Windows

These configuration steps need only be done once per development system. Once done, follow the Package Steps.

Windows Configuration

Install Git
Install NodeJS
- https://nodejs.org/en/ Used v6.10.3 LTS as of this writing.
Using the Git Bash console, create a folder for packaging
- $ mkdir c:/Temp/ParallaxIDEPkg
Using Windows Explorer, copy the release files from the latest Parallax IDE build into the packaging folder
- The Parallax IDE release files consists of:
  - _locales (folder)
  - assets (folder)
  - fonts (folder)
  - icons (folder)
  - background.js
  - bundle.js
  - index.html
  - manifest.json
Initialize folder for node:
- $ npm init
  - Enter "parallaxide" for name
  - Enter proper version for version
  - Enter proper description for the project (can be found on the Chrome Web Store page)
  - Enter "background.js" for the entry point
  - Choose the default answer for all the rest of the attributes
  - NOTE: pressing ENTER or typing "yes" and pressing ENTER on the Is this okay? (yes) prompt may seem to freeze. Just give it a moment and Ctrl-C to end it.
- This will create a package.json file that is required for node operations.
Install Innosetup 5.5.9 (non-Unicode)
- http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php
- Check Install Inno Setup Preprocessor option
- Check Create a desktop shortcut option
- If you chose to run Inno Setup, just close the Open dialog for now

After configuration (above), follow the Package steps.
