Compilation lol US

COMPILASHUN

COMPILASHUN IZ TEH PROCES OV CREATIN EXECUTABLE FILE. DIS AR TEH WUT U WANTS 2 DO IF U WANTS 2 ADD UR OWN CHANGEZ 2 ASF, OR IF U 4 WHATEVR REASON DOAN TRUST EXECUTABLE FILEZ PROVIDD IN OFFISHUL RELEASEZ. IF URE USR AN NOT DEVELOPR, MOST LIKELY U WANTS 2 USE ALREADY PRECOMPILD BINARIEZ, BUT IF UD LIEK 2 USE UR OWN ONEZ, OR LERN SOMETHIN NEW, CONTINUE READIN.

ASF CAN BE COMPILD ON ANY CURRENTLY SUPPORTD PLATFORM, AS LONG AS U HAS ALL NEEDD TOOLS 2 DO SO.

.NET SDK

REGARDLES OV PLATFORM, U NED FULL .NET SDK (NOT JUS RUNTIME) IN ORDR 2 COMPILE ASF. INSTALLASHUN INSTRUCSHUNS CAN BE FINDZ ON .NET DOWNLOAD PAEG. U NED 2 INSTALL APPROPRIATE .NET SDK VERSHUN 4 UR OS. AFTR SUCCESFUL INSTALLASHUN, dotnet COMMAND SHUD BE WERKIN AN OPERATIV. U CAN VERIFY IF IT WERKZ WIF dotnet --info. ALSO ENSURE DAT UR .NET SDK MATCHEZ ASF RUNTIME REQUIREMENTS.

COMPILASHUN

ASSUMIN U HAS .NET SDK OPERATIV AN IN APPROPRIATE VERSHUN, SIMPLY NAVIGATE 2 SOURCE ASF DIRECTORY (CLOND OR DOWNLOADD AN UNPACKD ASF REPO) AN EXECUTE:

dotnet publish ArchiSteamFarm -c "Release" -f "net6.0" -o "out/generic"

IF URE USIN LINUX/OS X, U CAN INSTEAD USE cc.sh SCRIPT WHICH WILL DO TEH SAME, IN BIT MOAR COMPLEX MANNR.

IF COMPILASHUN ENDD SUCCESFULLY, U CAN FIND UR ASF IN source FLAVR IN out/generic DIRECTORY. DIS AR TEH TEH SAME AS OFFISHUL generic ASF BUILD, BUT IT HAS FORCD UpdateChannel AN UpdatePeriod OV 0, WHICH IZ APPROPRIATE 4 SELF-BUILDZ.

OS-SPECIFIC

U CAN ALSO GENERATE OS-SPECIFIC .NET PACKAGE IF U HAS SPECIFIC NED. IN GENERAL U SHOULDNT DO DAT CUZ UVE JUS COMPILD generic FLAVR DAT U CAN RUN WIF UR ALREADY-INSTALLD .NET RUNTIME DAT UVE USD 4 DA COMPILASHUN IN DA FURST PLACE, BUT JUS IN CASE U WANTS 2:

dotnet publish ArchiSteamFarm -c "Release" -f "net6.0" -o "out/linux-x64" -r "linux-x64"

OV COURSE, REPLACE linux-x64 WIF OS-ARCHITECCHUR DAT U WANTS 2 TARGET, SUCH AS win-x64. DIS BUILD WILL ALSO HAS UPDATEZ DISABLD.

.NET FRAMEWORK

In a very rare case when you'd want to build generic-netf package, you can change target framework from net6.0 to net48. KEEP IN MIND DAT ULL NED APPROPRIATE .NET FRAMEWORK DEVELOPR PACK 4 COMPILIN netf VARIANT, IN ADDISHUN 2 .NET SDK, SO TEH BELOW WILL WERK ONLY ON WINDOWS:

dotnet publish ArchiSteamFarm -c "Release" -f "net48" -o "out/generic-netf"

IN CASE OV BEAN UNABLE 2 INSTALL .NET FRAMEWORK OR EVEN .NET SDK ITSELF (E.G. CUZ OV BUILDIN ON linux-x86 WIF mono), U CAN CALL msbuild DIRECTLY. ULL ALSO NED 2 SPECIFY ASFNetFramework MANUALLY, AS ASF BY DEFAULT DISABLEZ netf BUILD ON NON-WINDOWS PLATFORMS:

msbuild /m /r /t:Publish /p:Configuration=Release /p:TargetFramework=net48 /p:PublishDir=out/generic-netf /p:ASFNetFramework=true ArchiSteamFarm

ASF-UI

While the above steps are everything that is required to have a fully working build of ASF, you may also be interested in building ASF-ui, our graphical web interface. From ASF side, all you need to do is dropping ASF-ui build output in standard ASF-ui/dist location, then building ASF with it (again, if needed).

ASF-ui is part of ASF's source tree as a git submodule, ensure that you've cloned the repo with git clone --recursive, as otherwise you'll not have the required files. You'll also need a working NPM, Node.js comes with it. If you're using Linux/OS X, we recommend our cc.sh script, which will automatically cover building and shipping ASF-ui (if possible, that is, if you're meeting the requirements we've just mentioned).

In addition to the cc.sh script, we also attach the simplified build instructions below, refer to ASF-ui repo for additional documentation. From ASF's source tree location, so as above, execute the following commands:

rm -rf "ASF-ui/dist" # ASF-ui doesn't clean itself after old build

npm ci --prefix ASF-ui
npm run-script deploy --prefix ASF-ui

rm -rf "out/generic/www" # Ensure that our build output is clean of the old files
dotnet publish ArchiSteamFarm -c "Release" -f "net6.0" -o "out/generic" # Or accordingly to what you need as per the above

You should now be able to find the ASF-ui files in your out/generic/www folder. ASF will be able to serve those files to your browser.

Alternatively, you can simply build ASF-ui, whether manually or with the help of our repo, then copy the build output over to ${OUT}/www folder manually, where ${OUT} is the output folder of ASF that you've specified with -o parameter. This is exactly what ASF is doing as part of the build process, it copies ASF-ui/dist (if exists) over to ${OUT}/www, nothing fancy.

DEVELOPMENT

IF UD LIEK 2 EDIT ASF CODE, U CAN USE ANY .NET COMPATIBLE IDE 4 DAT PURPOSE, ALTHOUGH EVEN DAT IZ OPSHUNAL, SINCE U CAN AS WELL EDIT WIF NOTEPAD AN COMPILE WIF dotnet COMMAND DESCRIBD ABOOV. STILL, 4 WINDOWS WE RECOMMEND LATEST VISUAL STUDIO (FREE COMMUNITY VERSHUN IZ MOAR THAN ENOUGH).

IF UD LIEK 2 WERK WIF ASF CODE ON LINUX/OS X INSTEAD, WE RECOMMEND LATEST VISUAL STUDIO CODE. IZ NOT AS RICH AS CLASIC VISUAL STUDIO, BUT IZ GUD ENOUGH.

OV COURSE ALL SUGGESHUNS ABOOV R ONLY RECOMMENDASHUNS, U CAN USE WHATEVR U WANTS 2, IT COMEZ DOWN 2 dotnet build COMMAND ANYWAY. WE USE JETBRAINS RIDR 4 ASF DEVELOPMENT, ALTHOUGH IZ NOT FREE SOLUSHUN.

OFFISHUL RELEASEZ

OFFISHUL ASF RELEASEZ R COMPILD BY GITHUB ON WINDOWS, WIF LATEST .NET SDK DAT MATCHEZ ASF RUNTIME REQUIREMENTS. AFTR PASIN TESTS, ALL PACKAGEZ R DEPLOYD AS TEH RELEASE, ALSO ON GITHUB. DIS ALSO GUARANTEEZ TRANZPARENCY, SINCE GITHUB ALWAYS USEZ OFFISHUL PUBLIC SOURCE 4 ALL BUILDZ, AN U CAN COMPARE CHECKSUMS OV GITHUB ARTIFACTS WIF GITHUB RELEASE ASSETS. ASF DEVELOPERS DO NOT COMPILE OR PUBLISH BUILDZ THEMSELVEZ, EXCEPT 4 PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT PROCES AN DEBUGGIN.

Starting from ASF V5.2.0.5, in addition to the above, ASF maintainers manually validate and publish build checksums on independent from GitHub, remote server, as additional security measure. This step is mandatory for existing ASFs to consider the release as a valid candidate for auto-update functionality.
