Changes to tutorial documentation: 1. Changed instances of `yarn` to `npm`. Remove references to installing `yarn`. 2. Changed instances of `@freesewing/new-design` to `@freesewing/studio`. 3. Changed instances of "lab" to "development environment" and `npm run lab` to `npm run org`. 4. Changed instances of Node v18.17.0 to v20.19.1. ~(I think I might have missed it in one spot. I'll submit a future PR for it.)~ I did not touch the Getting "Started with Vercel" and "Getting Started with Codespaces" tutorials. I need to take a closer look at these to see if they are still relevant or if we might want to remove them.

title: Setting up the FreeSewing development environment
|
|
sidebar_position: 40
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
FreeSewing provides the studio, a development environment to help you design and develop patterns.
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to run this studio:
|
|
|
|
- [**Repository studio**](#monorepo-studio): Use this if you intend to
|
|
contribute your work to FreeSewing
|
|
- [**Stand-alone studio**](#stand-alone-studio): Use this if you want
|
|
to do your own thing, and not contribute to FreeSewing
|
|
|
|
## Repository studio
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
This is the recommended way for (aspiring) FreeSewing contributors
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
### TL;DR
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://codeberg.org/freesewing/freesewing.git
|
|
cd freesewing
|
|
npm run kickstart
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
Even better: [clone your own
|
|
fork](https://codeberg.org/freesewing/freesewing/fork)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://codeberg.org/your-username/freesewing.git
|
|
cd freesewing
|
|
npm run kickstart
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
This sets up the monorepo. If you would like to create a new design or plugin, run the
|
|
following command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm run add
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step by step
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
These docs assume you have git installed.
|
|
But if you're running Linux, you have git, right?
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
#### Fork our repository
|
|
|
|
You'll want to fork our repository. This way you have your own copy where you can make
|
|
all the changes you want. To do so, visit https://codeberg.org/freesewing/freesewing/fork
|
|
|
|
#### Clone the forked repository
|
|
|
|
Now that you have your very own fork, it's time to clone it locally.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone <url to your fork>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make sure to use the URL to your own fork, typically `https://codeberg.org/your-username/freesewing.git` but
|
|
obviously with your real username rather than `your-username`.
|
|
|
|
#### Install dependencies
|
|
|
|
Enter the directory that was created, and run the `npm run kickstart` command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd freesewing
|
|
npm run kickstart
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you're ready to [start the development environment](/tutorials/getting-started-linux/dev-start).
|
|
|
|
### Creating a new design or plugin
|
|
|
|
If you would like to create a new design or plugin, run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm run add
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After you've answered [some questions](#questions), it create a new
|
|
sub-folder for your design in the `designs` folder.
|
|
|
|
Now you're ready to [start the development
|
|
environment](/tutorials/getting-started-linux/dev-start).
|
|
|
|
## Stand-alone development
|
|
|
|
With Node.js installed, all you need to do to setup the stand-alone development environment is run this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx @freesewing/studio
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After you enter the folder name to create, it will take a while to set
|
|
everything up. When it's done, you will have a new folder with the development
|
|
environment inside.
|
|
|
|
### Creating a new design
|
|
|
|
If you would like to create a new design, enter the folder that was just created and run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm run add
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After you've answered [some questions](#questions), it create a new
|
|
sub-folder for your design in the `designs` folder.
|
|
|
|
Now you're ready to [start the development
|
|
environment](/tutorials/getting-started-linux/dev-start).

### Questions
