GNU Taler Wallet
================
This package implements a wallet for GNU Taler in TypeScript.
It can be run on different platforms:
1. As a cross-browser extension, written for the WebExtension API
2. As a Node.JS package
Dependencies
============
Dependencies are managed as NPM dependencies. For performance reasons,
we use `yarn' as a replacement for `npm' in the build system.
For cryptographic operations, the wallet uses an emscripten-compiled
library. The binary files for this library are in `./emscripten'.
The instructions for building this binary from scratch can be found
in the libtaler-emscripten repository:
https://git.taler.net/libtalerutil-emscripten.git/
pre-configure step
==================
`make submodules/init && make submodules/update`
`ln -sf build-scripts/configure configure`
`ln -sf build-scripts/configure.py configure.py`
or, at your choice:
`./bootstrap`
In the following steps you can ommit
`--prefix=$PREFIX` if you have set
the environment variable PREFIX to an
existing path on your system.
Building from source (Web Extension)
======================================
Run `./configure --prefix=$PREFIX && make webex-stable'
to create an archive containing the extension
in ./build/taler-wallet-$VERSION.zip
Building from source (Node.JS)
======================================
Run `./configure --prefix=$PREFIX && make' to build the wallet.
The command line interface for the wallet is available
in `./bin/taler-wallet-cli'.
Installation
============
To install the package permanently on your system, run:
`$ npm install -g --prefix $PREFIX .``
The binaries will be installed to `$PREFIX/bin`.
