Getting started

To configure the Launcher you will need to create a GitHub account, since the launcher is built in the operating system in which it will be launched.

Creating repository

First, clone the repository to your account by clicking on Create a new repository and name it to your liking.

For reference:

If you don't want your launcher (especially the design) to be stolen, create a Private repository.
If you are going to use the dev version of the launcher, don't forget to check the Include all branches checkbox.

Adding a key

After setting up the Launcher Server, a public.pem file should appear in its root directory. You need to copy it to the root of the Launcher repository. This is necessary so that the Launcher Server knows that the original Launcher is connecting to it, and not a third-party application.

Setting up Launcher

All settings are stored in the config.ts file.

config.ts

import publicKey from "./public.pem";

export const window = {
  width: 900,
  height: 550,
  frame: false,
  resizable: false,
  maximizable: false,
  fullscreenable: false,
  title: "Aurora Launcher",
};

export const api = {
  ws: "ws://127.0.0.1:1370/ws",
  web: "http://127.0.0.1:1370",
  publicKey,
};

export const appPath = ".aurora-launcher";

export const discordRPC = {
  appId: '1214685301793103902',
  default: {
    firstLineText: 'Тестирую лаунчер',
    secondLineText: 'Чувак, ты думал здесь что-то будет?',
    buttons: [
      {
        label: 'Прекол',
        url: 'https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ',
      },
    ],
    largeImageKey: 'logo',
    smallImageKey: 'logo_mc',
    largeImageText: 'Aurora Launcher',
    smallImageText: 'Minecraft',
  },
  profile: {...},
  game: {...}
