• Join our Jetpack Beta program.
• If you found a bug, file a report here. You can check our recommendations to create great bug reports here.

The javascript and CSS components of this plugin's admin interface need to be built in order to get the runtime bundle (_inc/build/admin.js)

Recommended Dependencies and Known Issues

Recommended environment:

• Node 5.x (preferably 5.11 or 5.10)
• npm 3.8.x

If you're having trouble installing 5.x, nvm is a nice tool for node version management :)

Known Issues:

• Does not work with Node 6.x nor 4.x.

Start Development

1. Make sure you have git, node, and npm installed and a working WordPress installation.

2. Clone this repository locally inside your /wp-content/plugins directory.

   git clone https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack.git
   

3. Make sure the Jetpack plugin is active and run

   npm run build
   

   This will install npm dependencies and then build the files.

4. Open /wp-admin/admin.php?page=jetpack in your browser.

Running npm run watch instead of npm run build will build all the code and continuously watch the front-end JS and CSS/Sass for changes and rebuild accordingly. Before running npm run watch you may need to npm install the npm dependencies first.
