So have you finished making it? Then its probably just as easy to copy Thunkable source code. That’s **not true**. Its takes years of practice, coding, and expertise. It’s definitely not as easy as a `Ctrl C` into VS Code.

To build your own app builder you need to know **HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, JAVA, SCSS and RUBY**.  
Now to make the builder you need some code or you can make by your own( **Making code by your own is a little bit difficult** ). So, to get the code you can use **code of MIT App Inventor which is open source!**

* * *

**Now there are two ways to make your builder(Use only one way)**  
**First way is difficult one.** In this way you need to install Ant, Gitbash and Java JDK.  
**Second Way is easy one.** In this way you need go to [sourceforge.net](http://sourceforge.net), search for App Inventor and download the portable app inventor code!

Here is a guide by MIT App Inventor on How to copy MIT App Inventor’s code and make your own builder - [https://josmas.github.io/contributingToAppInventor2](https://josmas.github.io/contributingToAppInventor2) **(This way is the hard one)**

Thank you
