# Build Vikunja from source
To completely build Vikunja from source, you need to build the api and frontend.
To fully build Vikunja from source files, you need to build the api and frontend.
{{< table_of_contents >}}
## General Preparations
1. Make sure you have git installed
2. Clone the repo with `git clone https://code.vikunja.io/vikunja` and switch into the directory.
## Frontend
The code for the frontend is located in the `frontend/` sub folder of the main repo.
1. Make sure you have [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation) properly installed on your system.
2. Install all dependencies with `pnpm install`
3. Build the frontend with `pnpm run build`. This will result in a static js bundle in the `dist/` folder.
4. You can either deploy that static js bundle directly, or read on to learn how to bundle it all up in a static binary with the api.
## API
The Vikunja API has no other dependencies than go itself.

1. Make sure [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) is properly installed on your system. You'll need at least Go `1.21`.
2. Make sure [Mage](https://magefile.org) is properly installed on your system.
3. Clone the repo with `git clone https://code.vikunja.io/api` and switch into the directory.
4. Run `mage build` in the source of this repo. This will build a binary in the root of the repo which will be able to run on your system.
3. If you did not build the frontend in the steps before, you need to either do that or create a dummy index file with `mkdir -p frontend/dist && touch index.html`.
4. Run `mage build` in the source of the main repo. This will build a binary in the root of the repo which will be able to run on your system.
### Build for different architectures
To build for other platforms and architectures than the one you're currently on, simply run `mage release:release` or `mage release:{linux|windows|darwin}`.
To build for other platforms and architectures than the one you're currently on, simply run `mage release` or `mage release:{linux|windows|darwin}`.
More options are available, please refer to the [magefile docs]({{< ref "../development/mage.md">}}) for more details.
## Frontend
The code for the frontend is located at [code.vikunja.io/frontend](https://code.vikunja.io/frontend).
1. Make sure you have [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation) properly installed on your system.
2. Clone the repo with `git clone https://code.vikunja.io/frontend` and switch into the directory.
3. Install all dependencies with `pnpm install`
4. Build the frontend with `pnpm run build`. This will result in a static js bundle in the `dist/` folder which you can deploy.
