## Building and Development

- Magisk builds on any OS Android Studio supports. Install Android Studio and do the initial setups.
- Clone sources: `git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk.git`
- Install Python 3.6+ \
  (Windows only: select **'Add Python to PATH'** in installer, and run `pip install colorama` after install)
- Configure to use the JDK bundled in Android Studio:
  - macOS: `export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/Contents/Home"`
  - Linux: `export PATH="/path/to/androidstudio/jre/bin:$PATH"`
  - Windows: Add `C:\Path\To\Android Studio\jre\bin` to environment variable `PATH`
- Set environment variable `ANDROID_SDK_ROOT` to the Android SDK folder (can be found in Android Studio settings)
- Run `./build.py ndk` to let the script download and install NDK for you
- To start building, run `build.py` to see your options. \
  For each action, use `-h` to access help (e.g. `./build.py all -h`)
- To start development, open the project with Android Studio. The IDE can be used for both app (Kotlin/Java) and native (C++/C) sources.
- Optionally, set custom configs with `config.prop`. A sample `config.prop.sample` is provided.
- To sign APKs and zips with your own private keys, set signing configs in `config.prop`. For more info, check [Google's Documentation](https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing.html#generate-key).

## Translation Contributions

Default string resources for the Magisk app and its stub APK are located here:

- `app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml`
- `stub/src/main/res/values/strings.xml`

Translate each and place them in the respective locations (`[module]/src/main/res/values-[lang]/strings.xml`).
