JUCE is an all-encompassing C++ framework for developing cross-platform |
|
|
|
software. JUCE is used by hundreds of companies to develop powerful, |
|
|
|
cross-platform audio, interactive, embedded or graphic applications. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We now have tier-leveled license terms for JUCE 5, with different terms for |
|
|
|
each available license: JUCE Personal (for developers or startup businesses |
|
|
|
with revenue under 50K USD "Revenue Limit"; free), JUCE Indie (for small |
|
|
|
businesses with under 200K Revenue Limit; $35/month), JUCE Pro (no Revenue |
|
|
|
Limit; $65/month), and JUCE Educational (no Revenue Limit; free for bona fide |
|
|
|
educational institutes). All licenses allow you to commercially release |
|
|
|
applications so long as you do not exceed the Revenue Limit and pay applicable |
|
|
|
Fees. Once your business hits the Revenue Limit for your JUCE license, you will |
|
|
|
either have to upgrade your JUCE license or release your Applications under the |
|
|
|
[GNU General Public License v.3](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html), |
|
|
|
which means, among other things, that your code can be freely copied and |
|

distributed. |

|
You agree to give notice to the end-users of your Applications that we may |
|
|
|
track the IP addresses associated with their use of the Applications using JUCE |
|

solely for our internal purposes in providing JUCE, unless you are a paying |
|
|
|
JUCE customer and opt-out of such tracking. You agree to fully comply with all |
|

JUCE is an open-source cross-platform C++ application framework used for rapidly |
|
|
|
developing high quality desktop and mobile applications, including VST, AU (and AUv3), |
|
|
|
RTAS and AAX audio plug-ins. JUCE can be easily integrated with existing projects or can |
|
|
|
be used as a project generation tool via the [Projucer](https://juce.com/discover/projucer), |
|
|
|
which supports exporting projects for Xcode (macOS and iOS), Visual Studio, Android Studio, |
|
|
|
Code::Blocks, CLion and Linux Makefiles as well as containing a source code editor and |
|
|
|
live-coding engine which can be used for rapid prototyping. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started |
|
|
|
The JUCE repository contains a [master](https://github.com/weareroli/JUCE/tree/master) |
|
|
|
and [develop](https://github.com/weareroli/JUCE/tree/develop) branch. The develop branch |
|
|
|
contains the latest bugfixes and features and is periodically merged into the master |
|
|
|
branch in stable [tagged releases](https://github.com/WeAreROLI/JUCE/releases) |
|
|
|
(the latest release containing pre-built binaries can be also downloaded from the |
|
|
|
[JUCE website](https://shop.juce.com/get-juce)). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The repository doesn't contain a pre-built Projucer so you will need to build it |
|
|
|
for your platform - Xcode, Visual Studio and Linux Makefile projects are located in |
|
|
|
[extras/Projucer/Builds](/extras/Projucer/Builds) |
|
|
|
(the minumum system requirements are listed in the __System Requirements__ section below). |
|
|
|
The Projucer can then be used to create new JUCE projects, view tutorials and run examples. |
|
|
|
It is also possible to include the JUCE modules source code in an existing project directly, |
|
|
|
or build them into a static or dynamic library which can be linked into a project. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For further help getting started, please refer to the JUCE |
|
|
|
[documentation](https://juce.com/learn/documentation) and |
