## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Wails has a number of common dependencies that are required before installation:
|
|
|
|
- Go 1.20+
|
|
- NPM (Node 15+)
|
|
|
|
### Go
|
|
|
|
Download Go from the [Go Downloads Page](https://go.dev/dl/).
|
|
|
|
Ensure that you follow the official [Go installation instructions](https://go.dev/doc/install). You will also need to ensure that your `PATH` environment variable also includes the path to your `~/go/bin` directory. Restart your terminal and do the following checks:
|
|
|
|
- Check Go is installed correctly: `go version`
|
|
- Check "~/go/bin" is in your PATH variable: `echo $PATH | grep go/bin`
|
|
|
|
### NPM
|
|
|
|
Download NPM from the [Node Downloads Page](https://nodejs.org/en/download/). It is best to use the latest release as that is what we generally test against.
|
|
|
|
Run `npm --version` to verify.
|
|
|
|
## Platform Specific Dependencies
|
|
|
|
You will also need to install platform specific dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```mdx-code-block
|
|
import Tabs from "@theme/Tabs";
|
|
import TabItem from "@theme/TabItem";
|
|
|
|
<Tabs
|
|
defaultValue="Windows"
|
|
values={[
|
|
{ label: "Windows", value: "Windows" },
|
|
{ label: "MacOS", value: "MacOS" },
|
|
{ label: "Linux", value: "Linux" },
|
|
]}
|
|
>
|
|
<TabItem value="MacOS">
|
|
Wails requires that the xcode command line tools are installed. This can be
|
|
done by running <code>xcode-select --install</code>.
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
<TabItem value="Windows">
|
|
Wails requires that the <a href="https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/">WebView2</a> runtime is installed. Some Windows installations will already have this installed. You can check using the <code>wails doctor</code> command.
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
<TabItem value={"Linux"}>
|
|
Linux requires the standard <code>gcc</code> build tools plus <code>libgtk3</code> and <code>libwebkit</code>. Rather than list a ton of commands for different distros, Wails can try to determine what the installation commands are for your specific distribution. Run <code>wails doctor</code> after installation to be shown how to install the dependencies. If your distro/package manager is not supported, please consult the <a href={"/docs/guides/linux-distro-support"}>Add Linux Distro</a> guide.
|
|
<br/><strong>Note:</strong><br/>
|
|
If you are using latest Linux version (example: Ubuntu 24.04) and it is not supporting <code>libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev</code>, then you might encounter an issue in <code>wails doctor</code>: <code>libwebkit</code> not found. To resolve this issue you can install <code>libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev</code> and during your build use the tag <code>-tags webkit2_41</code>.
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
</Tabs>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Optional Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- [UPX](https://upx.github.io/) for compressing your applications.
|
|
- [NSIS](https://wails.io/docs/guides/windows-installer/) for generating Windows installers.
|
|
|
|
## Installing Wails
|
|
|
|
Run `go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@latest` to install the Wails CLI.
|
|
|
|
Note: If you get an error similar to this:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
....\Go\pkg\mod\github.com\wailsapp\wails\v2@v2.1.0\pkg\templates\templates.go:28:12: pattern all:ides/*: no matching files found
|
|
```
|
|
please check you have Go 1.18+ installed:
|
|
```shell
|
|
go version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## System Check
|
|
|
|
Running `wails doctor` will check if you have the correct dependencies installed. If not, it will advise on what is missing and help on how to rectify any problems.
|
|
|
|
## The `wails` command appears to be missing?
|
|
|
|
If your system is reporting that the `wails` command is missing, make sure you have followed the Go installation guide
|
|
correctly. Normally, it means that the `go/bin` directory in your User's home directory is not in the `PATH` environment
|
|
variable. You will also normally need to close and reopen any open command prompts so that changes to the environment
|
|
made by the installer are reflected at the command prompt.
