Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository links to Chrome and Edge distribution listings. Its mobile counterpart is identified as a separate Yoroi Mobile project.

  • The implementation is a browser extension frontend rather than the separately referenced mobile project.
  • The repository is written in JavaScript and identifies React among its technologies.
  • Repository-level setup requires a Node.js version matching .nvmrc and npm dependency installation.
  • The code is publicly available under the MIT license.
  • Individual packages may have setup requirements beyond the repository-level instructions.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up the Yoroi frontend repository

Prepare the multi-project repository for further project-specific development.

Before you start

  • A local copy of the public repository.
  • nvm, or Node.js matching the version specified in the repository’s .nvmrc file.
  • npm.

Steps

  1. Use nvm to select the repository’s specified Node.js version, or install a matching Node.js version manually.

  2. Run npm install to install project-independent dependencies.

  3. Review the packages folder and the project-specific setup instructions before continuing.

Expected outcome

The repository-level dependencies are installed and the relevant package can be selected for its own setup process.

Guide limitations

  • The repository instructions do not establish that the application has been built, run, or deployed.
  • Each project in the multi-project repository may require additional setup steps.
