How to build on MacOS, please follow these simple steps.

```
**Step 2:**

cd appflowy/frontend
```

> 🚀 Skip install_rust or install_cargo_make if you already installed it.
> FYI, AppFlowy uses [https://github.com/sagiegurari/cargo-make](https://github.com/sagiegurari/cargo-make) to construct the build scripts
**Step 3:**
Follow the instructions [here](https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install) to install Flutter. As AppFlowy uses the `stable` channel, you need to switch the channel. Just type:
```shell
flutter channel stable
```
**Step 4:**
* You should enable the specified platform first if you don't enable it before and then select the desktop device.
```shell
# for windows
flutter config --enable-windows-desktop
# for macos
flutter config --enable-macos-desktop
# for linux
flutter config --enable-linux-desktop
```
* Open the `app_flowy` folder located at xx/appflowy/frontend with Visual Studio Code or other IDEs at your disposal.
* Run the Generate Language Files command if you don't run it before or you have updated the localization files. Read more at [AppFlowy translation](https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/docs/blob/main/welcome-to-the-appflowy-wiki/translation.md)
