numbas / numbas-lockdown-app

A locked-down browser for running Numbas exams in a controlled environment

Numbas lockdown browser

An Electron app which can be used to launch resources in the Numbas LTI provider, without access to developer tools or most other browser controls.

To build

You need NodeJS and yarn.

Once you've got NodeJS installed, install yarn.

Copy config.js.dist to config.js and fill it in.

To run the browser in development mode:

yarn start open <URL>

To build the executables:

yarn build_windows
yarn build_linux
yarn build_max

It's technically possible to build the Windows executable on Linux, using Wine, but it seems to produce a much bigger package than building on Windows.
