How to Build XtremFlow as an Executable

To create a standalone .exe version of XtremFlow, you need to build it on your machine.

Prerequisites

Since you are currently using Docker, you likely don't have these installed on your Windows system yet. You must install them to build the Windows executable.

1. Install Flutter SDK

   • Download from: flutter.dev/install/windows
   • Extract the zip file to C:\src\flutter (for example).
   • Add flutter/bin to your System PATH.

2. Verify Installation

   • Open a new terminal.
   • Run flutter doctor.
   • Ensure it says "Flutter ... channel stable".

Building the App

Once Flutter is installed:

1. Open PowerShell in this folder.
2. Run the build script:

   .\build_release.ps1
   

Adding FFmpeg

1. After the build finishes, open the new dist folder.
2. Go to dist/ffmpeg/bin.
3. Download ffmpeg.exe (from ffmpeg.org) and place it there.

Running

Double-click dist/start.bat to run the server!
