1. Clone the repo

git clone git@github.com:julia-actions/install-juliaup.git

cd install-juliaup

2. Install NodeJS

First, make sure that you have installed mise on your local machine.

Then, cd to your clone of the repo and run the following command:

make mise-install

This will use mise to install the correct version of NodeJS.

Not using mise

Instead of using mise, you can instead choose to install NodeJS manually.

First, check the .tool-versions file in this repo, and see what version of NodeJS you need. Then, install that same version of NodejS on your local machine.

3. Working locally

First, cd to your clone of the repo. Now you can run the following commands:

make cleanall
make install-packages

make build
make pack

make clean

When you are ready, you can commit your changes and push them to your PR.
