Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • Scatter Desktop is the client interface; ScatterEmbed supplies wallet software for key protection and encryption.
  • Development setup requires ScatterEmbed locally or configuration pointing to a live version.
  • The README names release builds for installation and development-mode instructions; it does not detail transaction steps.

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 Scatter Desktop for development

Start the Electron client in development mode with its wallet software dependency available.

Before you start

  • A cloned Scatter Desktop repository.
  • Node.js 10.15.3 and Electron 5.0.1 are identified as versions that work best.
  • Yarn and ScatterEmbed running locally, or an environment configuration that points to the live ScatterEmbed version.

Steps

  1. Clone the Scatter Desktop repository.

  2. Run yarn install to install dependencies.

  3. Ensure ScatterEmbed is running locally, or leave the .env configuration pointed at the live version.

  4. Run electron . or ./node_modules/.bin/electron . from the project directory.

Expected outcome

The Electron desktop client starts in development mode with the wallet software dependency configured.

Guide limitations

  • The README says development mode works best with the specified Node.js and Electron versions; it does not describe a broader compatibility range.
  • ScatterEmbed supplies the wallet software that protects keys and controls encryption.
