## Introduction
**Monerod GUI** is a desktop application that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for installing, updating, and interacting with the Monero daemon (`monerod`). This tool simplifies the process of managing a full Monero node, enabling users to run, configure, and monitor `monerod` without needing to use the command line.
## Demo

## Features
### 1. Simple Monerod Setup
- Automatically downloads and installs the latest version of `monerod` based on your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux).
- Provides configuration options for running `monerod` with custom parameters (e.g., enabling testnet, fast block sync, blockchain pruning).
### 2. Seamless Updates
- Automatically checks for new `monerod` releases.
- One-click updates to the latest version, keeping your node secure and up-to-date.
### 3. Interactive Control Panel
- Start, stop, and monitor the status of the Monero daemon from an intuitive control panel.
- Configure important `monerod` settings like RPC access, logging level, concurrency, and more from the GUI.
### 4. Real-Time Log Monitoring
- Displays real-time `monerod` logs in a clean, readable format, helping users track sync progress, transactions, and errors.
- Offers log filtering for easier monitoring of specific events or errors.
### 5. Network and Connectivity Monitoring
- Detects whether your current connection is over Wi-Fi and provides feedback on network stability.
- Supports external bind confirmations and allows for easy configuration of RPC access control for enhanced security.
### 6. Cross-Platform Support
- Monerod GUI automatically detects the operating system and selects the appropriate `monerod` version to download.
- Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
### 7. Customizable Installation
- Users can choose the installation directory for `monerod`, allowing for greater flexibility in managing the software on different systems.
### Usage
1. On the first run, Monerod GUI will detect your operating system and prompt you to download the appropriate version of `monerod`.
2. Once installed, you can start the Monero daemon with one click and configure various settings like testnet mode, fast sync, and more.
3. Monitor real-time logs to keep track of blockchain synchronization and transaction details.

## Getting Started
*Clone this repository locally:*
``` bash
git clone https://github.com/everoddandeven/monerod-gui.git
```
*Install dependencies with npm (used by Electron renderer process):*
``` bash
npm install
```
There is an issue with `yarn` and `node_modules` when the application is built by the packager. Please use `npm` as dependencies manager.
If you want to generate Angular components with Angular-cli , you **MUST** install `@angular/cli` in npm global context.
Please follow [Angular-cli documentation](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli) if you had installed a previous version of `angular-cli`.
``` bash
npm install -g @angular/cli
```
*Install NodeJS dependencies with npm (used by Electron main process):*
``` bash
cd app/
npm install
```
Why two package.json ? This project follow [Electron Builder two package.json structure](https://www.electron.build/tutorials/two-package-structure) in order to optimize final bundle and be still able to use Angular `ng add` feature.
## To build for development
- **in a terminal window** -> npm start
Voila! You can use your Angular + Electron app in a local development environment with hot reload!
The application code is managed by `app/main.ts`. In this sample, the app runs with a simple Angular App (`http://localhost:4200`), and an Electron window. \
The Angular component contains an example of Electron and NodeJS native lib import. \
You can disable "Developer Tools" by commenting `win.webContents.openDevTools();` in `app/main.ts`.
## Project structure
| Folder | Description |
|--------|--------------------------------------------------|
| app | Electron main process folder (NodeJS) |
| src | Electron renderer process folder (Web / Angular) |
## Browser mode
Maybe you only want to execute the application in the browser with hot reload? Just run `npm run ng:serve:web`.
## Included Commands
| Command | Description |
|--------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `npm run ng:serve` | Execute the app in the web browser (DEV mode) |
| `npm run web:build` | Build the app that can be used directly in the web browser. Your built files are in the /dist folder. |
| `npm run electron:local` | Builds your application and start electron locally |
| `npm run electron:local:dev` | Builds your application and start electron locally (DEV MODE) |
| `npm run electron:build` | Builds your application and creates an app consumable based on your operating system |
**Your application is optimised. Only /dist folder and NodeJS dependencies are included in the final bundle.**
## E2E Testing
E2E Test scripts can be found in `e2e` folder.
| Command | Description |
|---------------|---------------------------|
| `npm run e2e` | Execute end to end tests |
Note: To make it work behind a proxy, you can add this proxy exception in your terminal
`export {no_proxy,NO_PROXY}="127.0.0.1,localhost"`
## Debug with VsCode
[VsCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/) debug configuration is available! In order to use it, you need the extension [Debugger for Chrome](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=msjsdiag.debugger-for-chrome).
Then set some breakpoints in your application's source code.
Finally from VsCode press **Ctrl+Shift+D** and select **Application Debug** and press **F5**.
Please note that Hot reload is only available in Renderer process.
