Since we are working on the next-gen version of the wallet, we won't be reviewing pull requests with new features and bugs (only critical bugs will be reviewed and merged). Our intention is deploying the first beta of the v2 desktop wallet in a few weeks time so we need to be focused on it exclusively.
Please do not submit Pull-Requests (PRs) unless they solve an urgent problem.
Collaborate with other translators on our OneSky project and help us get wallet translated in other languages http://osjc1wl.oneskyapp.com/collaboration/project?id=95031
Please do not submit Pull-Requests (PRs) for translations, but use the link above!

To clone and run this repository you'll need Git and Node.js (which comes with npm) installed on your computer. Optionally switch to node 6.9.2, because this is currently developed with this version:
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 6.9.2
Install from source:
# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/ark-desktop
# Go into the repository
cd ark-desktop
# Install dependencies
npm install- In some cases, node-hid doesn't provide pre-built binaries, so is necessary to install the node-hid dependencies to build them from source before running
npm install.
