Building

Source Code

Git Repository: https://github.com/ganeshh123/gta5-cleaner

Running on Node

1. Clone/Download the project and copy app.js and essentialFiles.js into the GTA 5 Installation root directory.

2. Open Command Prompt inside the GTA V Installation root directory and run node app.js

Compiling a Windows Executable

Executables are compiled with a very specific version of nexe that allows access to the filesystem, which has a tricky setup procedure.

Installing the correct version of nexe

Run install_nexe_win.bat as admin on Windows, will take about 5 minutes to install fully.

Alternatively, install manually like this:

1. Firstly, install the general nexe globally with the command:

   npm install -g nexe

2. In the project root folder build some executables with this version of nexe to download node binaries for Windows:

   nexe . --target win32-x86-10.13.0

   This will download the binaries we need for later, and delete the executables built with this for now.

3. Now we need to install a specific version of nexe that allows access to the filesystem:

   Run the command:

   npm install -g cspotcode/nexe#19a5046

Now we should have the correct version of nexe for building.

Confirm by running:

nexe -v

Check that the version is 4.0.0-beta.4

Compiling the exe

Run build_win32.bat on Windows to build a Windows Executable. This can be found in /dist.

To Compile Manually

To build a Windows Executable, run the command:

nexe . --target win32-x86-10.13.0 -o ./dist/gta5cleaner.exe

in the root directory of the project.
