open source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories

Source code

Binary packages for Twine are available on the Releases tab for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Community-created builds exist on other platforms, such as the Snap Store or Arch User Repository. As always, only install from sources you trust. Run npm install at the top level of the directory to install all goodies. Working with the documentation requires installing mdbook, which is not a Node-based project. You can either install it directly from the project web site or use your operating system's package manager. Run npm start to begin serving a development version of Twine locally. This server will automatically update with changes you make. Run npm run start:electron to run a development version of the Electron app. Running this can damage files in your Twine storied folder. Take a backup copy of this folder before proceeding. Most of the app will automatically update as you work, but if you want the app to read story files initially again, you will need to restart the process. If any of these environment variables are not set, the build process will skip notarizing. This means users will need to right-click the application and open it manually. You must have the full Xcode app installed to notarize the app, not just the Xcode command line tools. npm run clean will delete existing files in electron-build/ and dist/ .
