How to Develop Netron

Netron can run as both an Electron app or a Python web server.

Develop the Electron app

To start the Electron app, install Node.js and run:

npm install
npx electron .

To debug the Electron app use Visual Studio Code and install the Debugger for Chrome extension. Open the ./Netron root folder and press F5. To attach the debugger to a rendering window select the Debug tab and Debug Renderer Process before launching.

To build Electron release binaries to the ./build/electron folder run:

npx electron-builder --mac --linux --win

Develop the Python server

To build and launch the Python server run:

npm install
python setup.py build
PYTHONPATH=build/python/lib python -c "import netron; netron.main()"
