|
|
Solian is the cross-platform Solar Network client built with Flutter, and currently, it’s our only frontend.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# Usage
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To use Solian, you can either download the client or open it directly in your browser. Thanks to Flutter’s cross-platform support, you can access the web version of Solian at https://lian.solsynth.dev. However, due to browser limitations, some features may be missing or affected.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Download
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There are many ways to download Solsynth, but make sure to download from officially certified channels.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. The official release version from the repository: https://git.solsynth.dev/Hydrogen/Solian/releases
|
|||
|
|
2. The test version from the official file storage: https://files.solsynth.dev/production01/solian
|
|||
|
|
3. Official TestFlight (iOS and some macOS): https://testflight.apple.com/join/YJ0lmN6O
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Windows version is a portable version. You can place it in a directory you're familiar with and run it directly.
|
|||
|
|
The web version also supports PWA (Progressive Web Application), which can replace some desktop usage.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Installation
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Below are the technical instructions for installing Solian on different platforms.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Android
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It is recommended to download the latest test version from the **file storage**. It has the latest fixes and is the most stable. ~~The test version is more stable than the stable version.~~
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can open and install the downloaded APK file directly. For Chinese phones, additional steps may be required for verification, but please avoid searching for and downloading from built-in app stores.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### iOS/macOS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Use TestFlight for installation. First, click the link above to download the TestFlight app. Then, click "Start Testing" in the second step of the link to join the test.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
TestFlight has a limited number of testing slots. Once the time is right, we will release Solian on the App Store (non-China region), where you can search and download it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Windows
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After downloading from any trusted source, extract it to a directory, and you can start using it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Note:** It seems that, due to a potential Flutter support issue, the Windows version often freezes for a while during the first startup before displaying the main window. Please be patient and avoid clicking repeatedly, as it may take 5 to 30 seconds. Repeated clicking may open multiple windows.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Linux
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Please build it yourself. I believe you can do it — good luck!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Build It Yourself
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Preparing the Environment
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Building Solian requires the Flutter SDK. Please download the latest version from the official site. Alternatively, you can download it from a China mirror.
|
|||
|
|
After installing Flutter, follow the official documentation to install other platform-specific dependencies (e.g., Windows requires VS2022, Android requires Android Studio, and for iOS/macOS, it’s better to use the official pre-built version).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In addition to installing the Flutter SDK, we need Rust for system-level dependencies. Please download the latest version from the official Rust site.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now that we have Flutter and Rust, we need one more thing — SQLite3, to support local databases for chat and future modules.
|
|||
|
|
For Linux, you need to install the corresponding SQLite3 development dependencies:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```sh
|
|||
|
|
# for ubuntu
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt-get -y install libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For Windows, download the
|
|||
|
|
[sqlite3.dll](https://github.com/tekartik/sqflite/raw/master/sqflite_common_ffi/lib/src/windows/sqlite3.dll)
|
|||
|
|
and place it in the running directory.
|
|||
|
|
No additional steps are needed for macOS or mobile builds.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Building the Code
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Next, it’s time to build the code. Ensure that you have `git` installed on your build machine. Alternatively, you can download the code as a compressed archive.
|
|||
|
|
Once `git` is installed, use the following command to clone the code:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```sh
|
|||
|
|
git clone https://git.solsynth.dev/Hydrogen/Solian.git
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Navigate to the corresponding directory and install dependencies using the following command:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```sh
|
|||
|
|
flutter pub get
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This will download dependencies from [pub.dev](https://pub.dev), hosted by Google. Connectivity within mainland China might be questionable. Refer to mirror sites for solutions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once the dependencies are installed, you can proceed with the build. Just one line of code:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```sh
|
|||
|
|
# for windows
|
|||
|
|
flutter build windows
|
|||
|
|
# for macos
|
|||
|
|
flutter build macos
|
|||
|
|
# for linux
|
|||
|
|
flutter build linux
|
|||
|
|
# for ios
|
|||
|
|
flutter build ipa
|
|||
|
|
# for android
|
|||
|
|
flutter build apk
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can also build other formats for Android, such as `aab`, but please prepare the necessary signing materials yourself.
