Nylas Mail

This is a collection of all components required to run Nylas Mail.

  1. Isomorphic Core: Shared code across local client and cloud servers
  2. Client App: The main Electron app for Nylas Mail mirrored to open source repo.
  3. Client Sync: The local mailsync engine integreated in Nylas Mail
  4. Client Private Plugins: Private Nylas Mail plugins (like SFDC)
  5. Cloud API: The cloud-based auth and metadata APIs for N1
  6. Cloud Core: Shared code used in all remote cloud services
  7. Cloud Workers: Cloud workers for services like send later

See /packages for the separate pieces. Each folder in /packages is designed to be its own stand-alone repository. They are all bundled here for the ease of source control management.

Initial Setup for All Local & Cloud Services:

  1. Install Homebrew
  2. Install NVM & Redis brew install nvm redis
  3. Install Node 6 via NVM: nvm install 6

New Computer (Linux - Debian/Ubuntu):

  1. Install Node 6+ via NodeSource (trusted):

  4. Install Redis locally sudo apt-get install -y redis-server redis-tools benefit of letting us use subdomains.
