Where is my godot engine source on Macos?

[twilwa]

Hi, trying to follow the setup guide in the wiki for V8, but it indicates I should have a godot source directory to add godot/modules from the prebuild release download. However, on Macos, following the normal installation process for godot 4.4.1, fzf -e from /usr/ or /Users/$username/ and searching for godot/modules or Godot/modules comes up with no hits. Application Support as well as the package in Godot.app don't have a modules folder. Where am I supposed to put these files? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but not sure if things have changed in 4.4. or if I missed a step somewhere or what.

Hi, a module can only be used as a part of the godot engine source, you need to build Godot from the source.
Firstly, clone the godot source:
git clone https://github.com/godotengine/godot
Then, follow the steps with the instructions in the official docs (Build from Source - Compiling for macOS).

PS: Ideally, GodotJS should be implemented to be directly used as gdextension without building anything from source. But there are some missing features to straightforwardly achieve this for now.
