Building

Nari is made with Godot 4.7. The native libraries are already built in addons/*/bin/, so opening the project in Godot is enough to run it.

Android exports use a Gradle build, so set up the Android SDK and JDK in Godot first. Godot's Exporting for Android guide walks you through it.

Everything else runs with just and Python 3:

just build                # every platform, plus the plugins and store metadata
just build linux android  # only those
just build aab            # signed App Bundle for Google Play
just test                 # the native library's tests
just take-screenshots
just generate-metadata

Godot, the Android SDK and the JDK are found on PATH or through GODOT, ANDROID_HOME and JAVA_HOME. Put them in a .env file (see .env.example) if they aren't found. just fdroid builds the APK fully from source the way F-Droid does, and flatpak/ has the Flathub manifest.
