An alternative open source Steam client built with React and Electron.

Usage

In order to use Vapour you are required to add a Steam ID and Steam API key in the settings page. The easiest way to find your Steam ID is via a site like https://steamidfinder.com/. You can get a Steam API key by visiting the following link http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey.

Getting Started

To run the project locally run the following command:

yarn dev

And to create a release build run the following command:

# Windows
yarn build --win

# Mac
yarn build --mac

# Linux
yarn build --linux

For linux flatpak

Unfortunately electron-builder does not yet competently build flatpaks, and the older approach using electron-packager and electron-installer-flatpak can't handle native modules. A work-around is to use electron-builder for the packaging step and electron-installer-flatpak for the actual flatpak creation.

First you need to run yarn install -g @malept/electron-installer-flatpak (this can't be added as dev-dependency since it is not cross-platform and yarn doesn't allow optional dev-dependencies).

Then

yarn run build:dist
yarn run build:linuxdir
yarn run build:flatpak

In order for this to work you must have already installed flatpak-builder using your favorite package manager (e.g. sudo pamac install flatpak-builder) and run:

flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform//19.08;
flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk//19.08;
flatpak install org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp/x86_64/stable
