## Manual build

Creating the release for Ubuntu 18.04 ([arduino/arduino-ide#2018](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/2018)) and macOS M1 ([arduino/arduino-ide#408](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/408)) is a manual procedure.

### Ubuntu 18.04

- Prerequisites:
- Ask the DevOps team for an EC2 instance with at least 8 GB of RAM.
- Your account must have access to the staging AWS environment.
- You have VPN connection to staging.
- Setup:

- To install all required dependencies, run the following script:
```sh
sudo apt update \
&& sudo apt install --no-install-recommends --yes \
git \
gcc \
curl \
make \
python \
pkg-config \
libx11-dev \
libxkbfile-dev \
build-essential \
libsecret-1-dev \
&& wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh | bash \
&& source ~/.bashrc \
&& nvm install 16 \
&& nvm use 16 \
&& nvm alias default 16 \
&& curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add - \
&& echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list \
&& sudo apt update && sudo apt install --no-install-recommends yarn
```

- Clone:

```sh
BRANCH="<TODO: release branch name>"
git clone --single-branch --branch $BRANCH https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide.git
```

- Build:

```sh
export IS_RELEASE=true \
&& export CI=true \
&& ./scripts/package.sh
```

- Artifacts:
- You have to upload the following artifacts from `./arduino-ide/electron-app/dist` to S3:
- `arduino-ide_${VERSION}_Linux_64bit.AppImage`,
- `arduino-ide_${VERSION}_Linux_64bit.zip`, and
- `stable-linux.yml`

### macOS M1

- Prerequisites:

- You need access to the shared Mac Mini at Toolbox. Use TeamViewer.
- You have access to the `FT Web Tooling` 1Password vault.

- Clone:

```sh
BRANCH="<TODO: release branch name>"
git clone --single-branch --branch $BRANCH https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide.git
```

- Setup:

- Download the `Pro-IDE-Certificates.p12` file from the `Arduino Pro IDE Apple Developer ID Certificate .p12 format` 1Password vault item and put it somewhere on the Mac Mini. This example assumes you put the `.p12` file in the `arduino-ide` repository root, and your `cwd` is also in the `arduino-ide` repository root.
- The following environment variables must be available from the shell:

- `AC_PASSWORD`: From the `Arduino Apple developer ID App Specific Password` 1Password vault item
- `AC_USERNAME`: From the `Arduino Apple developer ID App Specific Password` 1Password vault item
- `AC_TEAM_ID`: "KT7ZWMCJT"
- `CSC_KEY_PASSWORD`: from the `Arduino Pro IDE Apple Developer ID certificate keychain password` 1Password vault item
- `CSC_LINK`: Path to the `Pro-IDE-Certificates.p12` file on the Mac Mini
- `IS_RELEASE`: "true"
- `CAN_SIGN`: "true"
- `MACOS_FORCE_NOTARIZE`: "true"

```sh
export AC_PASSWORD="***"
export AC_USERNAME="***"
export AC_TEAM_ID="7KT7ZWMCJT"
export CSC_KEY_PASSWORD="***"
export CSC_LINK="`pwd`/Pro-IDE-Certificates.p12"
export IS_RELEASE="true"
export CAN_SIGN="true"
export MACOS_FORCE_NOTARIZE="true"
export CI="true"
```

- Build:

```sh
./scripts/package.sh
```

> Make sure to change directory, and execute the script from the root of the `arduino-ide` repository.

- Verify:

Since you cannot drag and drop via TeamViewer, you will install the app from a command line. This example puts the IDE2 into the Desktop. Do **NOT** try to bypass the installation with a double click and open from the UI. The `node_modules` folder of the source code is implicitly in the `$PATH`, and you want to verify if the app is fully functional without the `node_modules` folder.

```sh
VERSION="<TODO: release version>"
hdiutil attach ./electron-app/dist/arduino-ide_${VERSION}_macOS_arm64.dmg \
&& cp -R /Volumes/Arduino\ IDE\ ${VERSION}-arm64/Arduino\ IDE.app ~/Desktop \
&& hdiutil unmount /Volumes/Arduino\ IDE\ ${VERSION}-arm64 \
&& codesign -dv --verbose=4 ~/Desktop/Arduino\ IDE.app \
&& ~/Desktop/Arduino\ IDE.app/Contents/MacOS/Arduino\ IDE
```

Should manually rename arm to ARM before the upload: #2117

- Cleanup:

- You **MUST** close the shell after the build.
- You **MUST** delete the `.p12` file and empty the trash afterward.

- Artifacts:
- You have to upload the following artifacts from `./arduino-ide/electron-app/dist` to S3, but first, you must create the final channel file from the `latest-mac.yaml`:
- `arduino-ide_${VERSION}_macOS_arm64.dmg`,
- `arduino-ide_${VERSION}_macOS_arm64.zip`, and
- `stable-mac.yml`
- To create the final channel file, do the followings:
- Copy the `stable-mac.yml` file from the Mac Mini to a folder and rename it to `stable-mac-ARM64.yml`.
- Download the `stable-mac.yaml` produced by GitHub Actions from the latest release, rename it to `stable-mac-X64.yml`, and put it in the same folder where you put the file from the Mac Mini.
- Run the channel file merger:
```sh
node ./scripts/merge-channel-files.js ./path/to/folder/with/channel/files --no-cleanup
```
> Although, the `--no-cleanup` flag is not mandatory to merge the channel files, it instructs the merger to keep the original channel files.
- You have the merged channel file that you need to upload to S3.

### FAQ

- Q: I see no `stable` channel files, only `latest`.
- A: You forgot to set the `CI=true` environment variable.

---

- Q: How to connect to the EC2 instance?
- A: DevOps will give you a temporary link to the private key. Create a file `username_ip.pem` in your cwd, copy the private key into the file, open a shell, and execute `ssh -i "username_ip.pem" username@ip`. DevOps will tell you the `username` and the `ip`. Do not forget the VPN.

The chmod 0400 username_ip.pem is missing from the steps. Otherwise there is an error:

Load key "username_ip.pem": bad permissions
username@ip: Permission denied (publickey).


---

- Q: How to download the files from the EC2 instance?
- A: `scp -i username_ip.pem username@ip:/path/to/build/artifact /local/dir`.
