<p>SearXNG loves developers; Developers do not need to worry about tool chains, the
usual developer tasks can be comfortably executed via <a class="reference internal" href="makefile.html#makefile"><span class="std std-ref">make</span></a>.</p>
<p>Don’t hesitate, just clone SearXNG’s sources and start hacking right now ..</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>git<span class="w"> </span>clone<span class="w"> </span>https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git<span class="w"> </span>searxng
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Here is how a minimal workflow looks like:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p><em>start</em> hacking</p></li>
<li><p><em>run</em> your code: <a class="reference internal" href="makefile.html#make-run"><span class="std std-ref">make run</span></a></p></li>
<li><p><em>format &amp; test</em> your code: <a class="reference internal" href="makefile.html#make-format-python"><span class="std std-ref">make format.python</span></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="makefile.html#make-test"><span class="std std-ref">make test</span></a></p></li>
</ol>
<p>If you think at some point something fails, go back to <em>start</em>.  Otherwise,
choose a meaningful commit message and we are happy to receive your pull
request. To not end in <em>wild west</em> we have some directives, please pay attention
to our “<a class="reference internal" href="contribution_guide.html#how-to-contribute"><span class="std std-ref">How to contribute</span></a>” guideline.</p>
<aside class="sidebar">
<p class="sidebar-title">further read</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><a class="reference internal" href="makefile.html#make-nvm"><span class="std std-ref">NVM make nvm.install nvm.status</span></a></p></li>
<li><p><a class="reference internal" href="makefile.html#make-themes"><span class="std std-ref">make themes.*</span></a></p></li>
</ul>
</aside>
<p>If you implement themes, you will need to setup a <a class="reference internal" href="makefile.html#make-node-env"><span class="std std-ref">Node.js environment</span></a>: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">make</span> <span class="pre">node.env</span></code></p>
<p>Before you call <em>make run</em> (2.), you need to compile the modified styles and
JavaScript: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">make</span> <span class="pre">themes.all</span></code></p>
<p>Alternatively you can also compile selective the theme you have modified,
e.g. the <em>simple</em> theme.</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>make<span class="w"> </span>themes.simple
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="admonition tip">
<p class="admonition-title">Tip</p>
<p>To get live builds while modifying CSS &amp; JS use: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">LIVE_THEME=simple</span> <span class="pre">make</span> <span class="pre">run</span></code></p>
</div>
<aside class="sidebar">
<p class="sidebar-title">further read</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><a class="reference internal" href="makefile.html#make-static-build"><span class="std std-ref">make static.build.*</span></a></p></li>
</ul>
</aside>
<p>If you finished your <em>tests</em> you can start to commit your changes.  To separate
the modified source code from the build products first run:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>make<span class="w"> </span>static.build.restore
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This will restore the old build products and only your changes of the code
remain in the working tree which can now be added &amp; committed.  When all sources
are committed, you can commit the build products simply by:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>make<span class="w"> </span>static.build.commit
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Committing the build products should be the last step, just before you send us
your PR.  There is also a make target to rewind this last build commit:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>make<span class="w"> </span>static.build.drop
</pre></div>
</div>
