## Support
If you're a user seeking support, [here is our support site](https://metamask.helpscoutdocs.com/).
## Developing Compatible Dapps
If you're a web dapp developer, we've got two types of guides for you:
### New Dapp Developers
- We recommend this [Learning Solidity](https://karl.tech/learning-solidity-part-1-deploy-a-contract/) tutorial series by Karl Floersch.
- We wrote a (slightly outdated now) gentle introduction on [Developing Dapps with Truffle and MetaMask](https://medium.com/metamask/developing-ethereum-dapps-with-truffle-and-metamask-aa8ad7e363ba).
### Current Dapp Developers
- If you have a Dapp, and you want to ensure compatibility, [here is our guide on building MetaMask-compatible Dapps](https://github.com/MetaMask/faq/blob/master/DEVELOPERS.md)
## Building locally
- Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) version 6.3.1 or later.
- Install local dependencies with `npm install`.
- Install gulp globally with `npm install -g gulp-cli`.
- Build the project to the `./dist/` folder with `gulp build`.
- Optionally, to rebuild on file changes, run `gulp dev`.
- To package .zip files for distribution, run `gulp zip`, or run the full build & zip with `gulp dist`.
Uncompressed builds can be found in `/dist`, compressed builds can be found in `/builds` once they're built.
### Running Tests
Requires `mocha` installed. Run `npm install -g mocha`.
Then just run `npm test`.
You can also test with a continuously watching process, via `npm run watch`.
You can run the linter by itself with `gulp lint`.
## Architecture
[![Architecture Diagram](./docs/architecture.png)][1]

#### Writing Browser Tests
To write tests that will be run in the browser using QUnit, add your test files to `test/integration/lib`.
