As nice it is to have user contributed ports, the problem is that they're getting outdated. This one is already a few versions behind our latest release, and we don't have way to update the port so that it's up to date. Thus removing it from the README so that we're not accidentally suggesting people to install outdated versions with bugs and/or missing features.

# bhari-frame (heavy-frame)
|
|
|
|
Desktop app for [ente.io](https://ente.io) build with [electron](https://electronjs.org) and loads of ❤️.
|
|
|
|
## Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
We are aware that electron is a sub-optimal choice for building desktop applications.
|
|
|
|
The goal of this app was to
|
|
1. provide a stable environment for customers to back up large amounts of data reliably
|
|
2. export uploaded data from our servers to their local hard drives.
|
|
|
|
Electron was the best way to reuse our battle tested code from [bada-frame](https://github.com/ente-io/bada-frame) that powers [web.ente.io](https://web.ente.io).
|
|
|
|
As an archival solution built by a small team, we are hopeful that this project will help us keep our stack lean, while ensuring a painfree life for our customers.
|
|
|
|
If you are running into issues with this app, please drop a mail to [support@ente.io](mailto:support@ente.io) and we'll be very happy to help.

|
|
fetch and build from source.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Clone this repository
|
|
git clone https://github.com/ente-io/bhari-frame
|
|
|
|
# Go into the repository
|
|
cd bhari-frame
|
|
|
|
# Clone submodules (recursively)

git submodule update --init --recursive
|
