Installation

Prerequisites#

Make sure the following tools are installed before building TK Clip Manager:

Clone the Repository#

git clone <repo-url>
cd TKClipManager

Verify Environment#

Run the prerequisites check script to validate your setup:

.\Scripts\check-prerequisites.ps1

This will verify that all required tools are installed and at the correct versions.

Build#

The unified build script handles everything:

# Full build (debug)
.\build.ps1

# Clean release build
.\build.ps1 -Clean -Publish

# Run tests only
dotnet test TKClipManager.sln

# Build with MSI installer
.\build.ps1 -Publish -PackageMsi

Build Flags#

Code Signing#

TK Clip Manager supports Authenticode code signing. Set the certificate thumbprint once:

$env:CODE_SIGNING_THUMBPRINT = "<your-thumbprint>"

All subsequent builds will sign binaries and MSI packages automatically.
