I´m in the same case. I have read the documentation but i haven´t found anything. There are some guys that modify the makefile for linux version, but they do for version 3.5.1.

Anybody know the official way for version 5?

Hi @bje and @raul03ma, thank you for reaching out.

Here is a documentation that might help you get started: https://developers.mattermost.com/contribute/getting-started/.

If this doesn’t help, just let me know and I’ll ask our engineers for further directions.

Hi @amy.blais,

But if I understood well this is the way to install in a development environment with docker. But if I want to install in a production server, is the same way? I think the mattermost-server project should have a way to compile as a dist. I found a folder in this path mattermost-server/dist/mattermost that I think is what I want but I´m not sure. The only strange thing is the platform folder is empty and it shouldn´t.

Thanks a lot!!!

Hi @raul03ma! Thank you for your question.

Would you like to join our Peer-to-peer Help channel in our build server to see if other community members would have ideas?

A lot of people in the community compile it themselves and they should have some ideas on how you can proceed.

@raul03ma - One community member just shared an example of how he is packaging Mattermost for Arch Linux: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=mattermost !

I originally posted about this in Developer Toolkit channel, so you can follow that thread for any other ideas that people might share.
