Snail-IDE GUI

scratch-gui modified for use in TurboWarp then modified for use in PenguinMod then modified for use in Snail-IDE 😀

Setup

To run Snail-IDE on your computer, follow these installation steps:

1. Prerequisites (Node.js & nvm)

You will need Node.js version 16 managed via Node Version Manager (nvm):

nvm install 16
nvm use 16

(Windows users: Please accept any UAC administrative prompts that appear)

2. Package Manager Setup

You need pnpm to resolve dependencies correctly. Install it globally:

npm install -g pnpm

3. Clone & Install

Clone the repository and install the project dependencies using the required hoist flag:

git clone https://github.com/snail-ide/snail-ide.github.io
cd snail-ide.github.io
pnpm i --shamefully-hoist

4. Running the Development Server

Launch the local server using your preferred package manager:

pnpm start
# OR
npm start
# OR
yarn start

💡 Node 17+ Compatibility

If you prefer to use Node.js version 17 or higher instead of version 16, you must pass the OpenSSL legacy provider flag to prevent cryptographic build errors.

• Linux / macOS / GitHub Codespaces: Run this in your terminal before starting:

  export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

• Windows (Command Prompt):

  set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

• Windows (PowerShell):

  \$env:NODE_OPTIONS="--openssl-legacy-provider"
