$PATH
.
Change to the dangerzone
folder, and install the poetry dependencies:
Note: due to an issue with poetry, if it prompts for your keying, disable the keyring with
keyring --disable
and run the command again.
poetry install
Build the latest container:
./install/linux/build-image.sh
Run from source tree:

Create a .rpm:
./install/linux/build-rpm.py
Create a Debian- or Fedora-based standalone VM with at least 8GB of private storage space, and follow the relevant instructions above.
Over time, you may need to increase disk space or prune outdated Docker images if you run into build issues on this VM.
Install Docker Desktop. Make sure to choose your correct CPU, either Intel Chip or Apple Chip.
Install the latest version of Python 3.10 from python.org, and make sure /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin
is in your PATH
.
Install Python dependencies:
python3 -m pip install poetry
poetry install
Install Homebrew dependencies:
brew install create-dmg
Build the dangerzone container image:
./install/macos/build-image.sh
Run from source tree:
# start a shell in the virtual environment
poetry shell
# run the CLI
./dev_scripts/dangerzone-cli --help
# run the GUI
./dev_scripts/dangerzone
To create an app bundle, use the build_app.py
script:
poetry run ./install/macos/build-app.py
If you want to build for distribution, you'll need a codesigning certificate, and then run:
poetry run ./install/macos/build-app.py --with-codesign
The output is in the dist
folder.
Install Docker Desktop.
Install the latest version of Python 3.10 (64-bit) from python.org. Make sure to check the "Add Python 3.10 to PATH" checkbox on the first page of the installer.
Install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools" and make sure to select "Desktop development with C++" when installing.
Install poetry. Open PowerShell, and run:
python -m pip install poetry
Change to the dangerzone
folder, and install the poetry dependencies:
poetry install
Build the dangerzone container image:
python .\install\windows\build-image.py
After that you can launch dangerzone during development with:
# start a shell in the virtual environment
poetry shell
# run the CLI
.\dev_scripts\dangerzone-cli.bat --help
# run the GUI
.\dev_scripts\dangerzone.bat
- Go to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework and download and install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Runtime. I downloaded
dotnetfx35.exe
. - Go to https://wixtoolset.org/releases/ and download and install WiX toolset. I downloaded
wix311.exe
. - Add
C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.11\bin
to the path (instructions).
You'll need a code signing certificate.
Open a command prompt, cd into the dangerzone directory, and run:
poetry run python .\setup-windows.py build
In build\exe.win32-3.10\
you will find dangerzone.exe
, dangerzone-cli.exe
, and all supporting files.
Note that you must have a codesigning certificate installed in order to use the install\windows\build-app.bat
script, because it codesigns dangerzone.exe
, dangerzone-cli.exe
and Dangerzone.msi
.
poetry run .\install\windows\build-app.bat
When you're done you will have dist\Dangerzone.msi
.
