  2. Install the required dependencies.
  3. Build the project.

Updating

Docker

Please follow these instructions to update your Docker instance.

Release build

If you installed a release build of Recipya, i.e. v1.0.0, then the software will notify you once an update is available. You can self-update the application from the settings dialog.

Let's explain the mechanism developers. Basically, a cron job is run every three days to check whether there is a new GitHub release. If so, the update indicators in the UI will be enabled. Once the user presses the "Update" button, the latest release is fetched, unpacked and the application restarted.
