Want to contribute? Great! First, read
[our guidelines for contributors](https://developers.google.com/blockly/guides/modify/contributing).

## Setting Up

### Install node and NW.js

In order to properly run and test Blockly's devtools, install
[node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) and
[NW.js](https://nwjs.io/downloads/) on your computer.
Instructions for installation can be found on the linked sites.

### Install Devtools

In your devtools directory run

```
npm install
```

### Run Devtools

Find the relative path to `nwjs/nw` that you installed onto your computer.
Run the following command from the devtools repo's directory.

```
nwjs/nw .
```

Doing so will run devtools as an NW.js application on your computer.

### Closure dependency error

If you get an error about "closure" upon loading the app, it probably means the
`blockly-devtools/closure-library/` directory has not been set up.
Try running:

    git submodule update --init --recursive

Alternatively, install the [closure-library](https://developers.google.com/closure/library/)
into that directory. If you are working with the web library, you may prefer to share a local
copy via a [symlink](https://kb.iu.edu/d/abbe) (i.e., `ln -s path/to/closure-library`).

We are currently working on removing this dependency, but this will fix the issue until then.
