Building

CodeFormatter uses a Wolfram Language kernel to build a .paclet file.

CodeFormatter uses CMake to generate build scripts.

Here is an example transcript using the default make generator to build CodeFormatter:

cd codeformatter
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

The result is a directory named paclet that contains the WL package source code and a built CodeFormatter .paclet file for installing.

Inside a kernel session you may then install the paclet by evaluating:

PacletInstall["/path/to/build/paclet/CodeFormatter-1.9.paclet"]

Specify MATHEMATICA_INSTALL_DIR if you have Wolfram System installed in a non-default location:

cmake -DMATHEMATICA_INSTALL_DIR=/Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/ ..
cmake --build .

On Windows:

cmake -DMATHEMATICA_INSTALL_DIR="C:/Program Files/Wolfram Research/Mathematica/13.1" ..
cmake --build .

Installing

You can install the paclet from CMake:

cmake --install .

This starts a kernel and calls PacletInstall with the built .paclet file.
