How to contribute to the community!

Have installed Appium via node on Mac

got code under '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium'

Want to fix an issue, for that I reached till the location and kept loggers & comments in one of the java file to see if my changes are reflected

But strangely, while running the script [started server via 'appium  --app-wait-activity .ui.HomeActivity &'  followed by script execution] 

I don't find my loggers or comments in server logs and even my changes doesn't gets reflected.

I guess I'm missing compilation & execution before starting the server again

Is there any extra step has to done for node js to say compile & execute ?  [it might be a lame question but since i'm not aware of node js & how the code flow is going from js files to java or shell ]

Regards,

Pooja

There is no compilation of JavaScript. But sometimes things are in different places, and only called from one.

Generally, if you want to mess with the code, and contribute (please do!), you ought to use the source from GitHub, rather than the node installation. Otherwise you can't send pull requests, anyway.

Thanks Isaac,

I had forked from git also but again was clueless about how to start appium  server  from that 

I'm hands-on in Java but newbie to node js so it would be a great help if you can suggest me the start point.

I had tried the link suggested & failed 

Thanks,

Pooja
