  2. Set the directory to src
  3. Build the api

  1. Build the web
docker build -f web/Fig.Web/Dockerfile -t fig.web .
  1. Start the web

Can I run this on an Apple Silicon (M1/M2) Mac?​

Yes, the easiest way to run fig is by using containers, these run on Apple silicon as well as any other processor. However, if you want to build the solution on an M1/M2 Mac, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the code
  2. Copy libSQLite.Interop.dll from the external folder to /usr/local/lib (it may need to be created)
  3. You should be up and running.

If you want to do everything from scratch, follow the steps below:

  1. Clone the code

  2. From the SQLite download page, download the sql lite source code. At time of writing, this was sqlite-netFx-source-1.0.116.0.zip

  3. Unzip

  4. Open /Setup/compile-interop-assembly-release.sh in a text editor.

  5. Change the architecture from x86_64 to arm64 (or arm64e if you are running macOS earlier than Ventura). It should look like this

  6. if [[ "$OSTYPE" == "darwin"* ]]; then
      libname=libSQLite.Interop.dylib
      # NOTE: No longer works in 10.14+
      # gccflags="-arch i386 -arch x86_64"
      gccflags="-arch arm64"
    else
      libname=libSQLite.Interop.so
      gccflags=""
    fi

  7. In the terminal Execute the following

  8. cd Setup
    sh compile-interop-assembly-release.sh

  9. It will create this file: /bin/2013/Release/bin/SQLite.Interop.dll

  10. Create the directory /usr/local/lib (if it didn't already exist) and copy SQLite.Interop.dll to that directory.

  11. Rename it to libSQLite.Interop.dll

  12. In the terminal, return to the base directory and build the project using the following command:

  13. dotnet build -c Release SQLite.NET.NetStandard20.sln

  14. Add a reference the file which now has been created at /bin/NetStandard20/ReleaseNetStandard20/bin/netstandard2.0/System.Data.SQLite.dll to the Fig.Api project (you can move it first to a more approproiate location)
