# Remix Project
**Remix Project** is a platform for development tools that use a plugin architecture. It encompasses sub-projects including Remix Plugin Engine, Remix Libraries, and of course Remix IDE.
**Remix IDE** is an open source web and desktop application. It fosters a fast development cycle and has a rich set of plugins with intuitive GUIs. Remix is used for the **entire journey of contract development with [Solidity language](https://soliditylang.org/)** as well as a playground for learning and teaching [Ethereum](https://ethereum.org/).
Start developing using Remix on browser, visit: [https://remix.ethereum.org](https://remix.ethereum.org)
For desktop version, see releases: [https://github.com/ethereum/remix-desktop/releases](https://github.com/ethereum/remix-desktop/releases)
:point_right: **Remix libraries** work as a core of native plugins of Remix IDE. Read more about libraries [here](libs/README.md)
## Offline Usage
The `gh-pages` branch of [remix-live](https://github.com/ethereum/remix-live) always has the latest stable build of Remix. It contains a ZIP file with the entire build. Download it to use offline.
Note: It contains the latest supported version of Solidity available at the time of the packaging. Other compiler versions can be used online only.
## Setup
* Install **NPM** and **Node.js**. See [Guide](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm)
*Supported versions:*
```bash
"engines": {
"node": "^14.17.6",
"npm": "^6.14.15"
}
```
* Install [Nx CLI](https://nx.dev/react/cli/overview) globally to enable running **nx executable commands**.
```bash
npm install -g @nrwl/cli
```
* Clone the github repository (`wget` need to be installed first):
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ethereum/remix-project.git
```
* Build `remix-project`:
```bash
cd remix-project
npm install
nx build
nx serve
```
Open `http://127.0.0.1:8080` in your browser to load Remix IDE locally.
Go to your `text editor` and start developing. Browser will automatically refresh when files are saved.
## Production Build
To generate react production builds for remix-project.
```bash
npm run build:production
```
Build can be found in `remix-project/dist/apps/remix-ide` directory.
```bash
npm run serve:production
```
Production build will be served by default to `http://localhost:8080/` or `http://127.0.0.1:8080/`
## Docker:
Prerequisites:
* Docker (https://docs.docker.com/desktop/)
* Docker Compose (https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
### Run with docker
If you want to run latest changes that are merged into master branch then run:
```
docker pull remixproject/remix-ide:latest
docker run -p 8080:80 remixproject/remix-ide:latest
```
If you want to run latest remix-live release run.
```
docker pull remixproject/remix-ide:remix_live
docker run -p 8080:80 remixproject/remix-ide:remix_live
```
### Run with docker-compose:
To run locally without building you only need docker-compose.yaml file and you can run:
```
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d
```
Then go to http://localhost:8080 and you can use you Remix instance.
To fetch docker-compose file without cloning this repo run:
```
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethereum/remix-project/master/docker-compose.yaml > docker-compose.yaml
```
### Troubleshooting
If you have trouble building the project, make sure that you have the correct version of `node`, `npm` and `nvm`. Also ensure [Nx CLI](https://nx.dev/react/cli/overview) is installed globally.
Run:
```bash
node --version
npm --version
nvm --version
```
In Debian based OS such as Ubuntu 14.04LTS you may need to run `apt-get install build-essential`. After installing `build-essential`, run `npm rebuild`.
## Unit Testing
Run the unit tests using library name like: `nx test `
For example, to run unit tests of `remix-analyzer`, use `nx test remix-analyzer`
## Browser Testing
To run the Selenium tests via Nightwatch:
- Install Selenium for first time: `npm run selenium-install`
- Run a selenium server: `npm run selenium`
- Build & Serve Remix: `nx serve`
- Run all the end-to-end tests:
for Firefox: `npm run nightwatch_local_firefox`, or
for Google Chrome: `npm run nightwatch_local_chrome`
- Run a specific test case instead, use one of following commands:
- npm run nightwatch_local_ballot
- npm run nightwatch_local_usingWorker
- npm run nightwatch_local_libraryDeployment
- npm run nightwatch_local_solidityImport
- npm run nightwatch_local_recorder
- npm run nightwatch_local_transactionExecution
- npm run nightwatch_local_staticAnalysis
- npm run nightwatch_local_signingMessage
- npm run nightwatch_local_specialFunctions
- npm run nightwatch_local_solidityUnitTests
- npm run nightwatch_local_remixd # remixd needs to be run
- npm run nightwatch_local_terminal
- npm run nightwatch_local_gist
- npm run nightwatch_local_workspace
- npm run nightwatch_local_defaultLayout
- npm run nightwatch_local_pluginManager
- npm run nightwatch_local_publishContract
- npm run nightwatch_local_generalSettings
- npm run nightwatch_local_fileExplorer
- npm run nightwatch_local_debugger
- npm run nightwatch_local_editor
- npm run nightwatch_local_compiler
- npm run nightwatch_local_txListener
- npm run nightwatch_local_fileManager
- npm run nightwatch_local_runAndDeploy
**NOTE:**
- **The `ballot` tests suite** requires to run `ganache-cli` locally.
- **The `remixd` tests suite** requires to run `remixd` locally.
- **The `gist` tests suite** requires specifying a github access token in **.env file**.
```
gist_token = // token should have permission to create a gist
```
