### :hammer_and_wrench: How to compile the desktop client
2011-04-06 13:28:38 +04:00
:building_construction: [System requirements](https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/wiki/System-requirements-for-compiling-the-desktop-client) includes OpenSSL 1.1.x, QtKeychain, Qt 5.x.x and zlib.
#### :memo: Step by step instructions
##### Clone the repo and create build directory
```
$ git clone https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop.git
$ cd desktop
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
```
##### Compile and install
:warning: For development reasons it is better to **install the client on user space** instead on the global system. Mixing up libs/dll's of different version can lead to undefined behavior and crashes:
* You could use the **cmake flag** ```CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX``` as ```~/.local/``` in a **Linux** system. If you want to install system wide you could use ```/usr/local``` or ```/opt/nextcloud/```.
* On **Windows 10** [```$USERPROFILE```](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/usmt/usmt-recognized-environment-variables#a-href-idbkmk-2avariables-that-are-recognized-only-in-the-user-context) refers to ```C:\Users\<USERNAME>```.
##### Linux & Mac OS
```
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/nextcloud-desktop-client -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
$ make install
```
##### Windows
```
$ cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$USERPROFILE\nextcloud-desktop-client -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
$ cmake --build . --config Debug --target install
```
:information_source: More detailed instructions can be found at the [Desktop Client Wiki](https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/wiki).

## :memo: Source code
The Nextcloud Desktop Client is developed in Git. Since Git makes it easy to
fork and improve the source code and to adapt it to your need, many copies
can be found on the Internet, in particular on GitHub. However, the
authoritative repository maintained by the developers is located at
https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop.
