# Better Photos Place this app in **nextcloud/apps/** ## Building the app The app can be built by using the provided Makefile by running: make This requires the following things to be present: * make * which * tar: for building the archive * curl: used if phpunit and composer are not installed to fetch them from the web * npm: for building and testing everything JS, only required if a package.json is placed inside the **js/** folder The make command will install or update Composer dependencies if a composer.json is present and also **npm run build** if a package.json is present in the **js/** folder. The npm **build** script should use local paths for build systems and package managers, so people that simply want to build the app won't need to install npm libraries globally, e.g.: **package.json**: ```json "scripts": { "test": "node node_modules/gulp-cli/bin/gulp.js karma", "prebuild": "npm install && node_modules/bower/bin/bower install && node_modules/bower/bin/bower update", "build": "node node_modules/gulp-cli/bin/gulp.js" } ``` ## Publish to App Store First get an account for the [App Store](http://apps.nextcloud.com/) then run: make && make appstore The archive is located in build/artifacts/appstore and can then be uploaded to the App Store. ## Running tests You can use the provided Makefile to run all tests by using: make test This will run the PHP unit and integration tests and if a package.json is present in the **js/** folder will execute **npm run test** Of course you can also install [PHPUnit](http://phpunit.de/getting-started.html) and use the configurations directly: phpunit -c phpunit.xml or: phpunit -c phpunit.integration.xml for integration tests
