To test the mobile application you follow these steps from BUILD.md:

github.com

laurent22/joplin/blob/master/BUILD.md

 [![Travis Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/laurent22/joplin.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/laurent22/joplin) [![Appveyor Build Status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/github/laurent22/joplin?branch=master&passingText=master%20-%20OK&svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/laurent22/joplin)

# Building the applications

Note that all the applications share the same library, which, for historical reasons, is in `ReactNativeClient/lib`. This library is copied to the relevant directories when building each app.

## Required dependencies

- Install yarn - https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/
- Install node - https://nodejs.org/en/

## Building

Before doing anything else, from the root of the project, run:

	npm install

Then you can test the various applications:

## Testing the desktop application

Testing the Mobile application

First you need to setup React Native to build projects with native code. For this, follow the instructions on the Get Started tutorial, in the “React Native CLI Quickstart” tab.

Then:

cd ReactNativeClient
npm start-android
# Or: npm start-ios

To run the iOS application, it might be easier to open the file ios/Joplin.xcworkspace on XCode and run the app from there.

Normally the bundler should start automatically with the application. If it doesn’t run npm start .

Have you tried this?

Did you try the troubleshooting options at the bottom of the BUILD.md file?

On Windows

If node-gyp does not work (MSBUILD: error MSB3428: Could not load the Visual C++ component “VCBuild.exe”), you might need to install windows-build-tools using npm install --global windows-build-tools.

If yarn dist fails, it may need administrative rights.

If you get an error MSB8020: The build tools for v140 cannot be found. try to run with a different toolset version, eg npm install --toolset=v141 (See here for more info).

And for the second screenshot, try “npm run start-android” instead.

I got the same error yesterday. Try and run it 3 or 4 times, you should get a different error each time, but eventually it should work. Let me know how it goes.

Edit: Also make sure you’re running CMD as Admin

I haven’t seen that error before, sorry. I’m not sure how to handle it.
