Development

Prerequisites

Node.js, npm, and a Rust toolchain. On Linux you also need the WebKitGTK dev libraries:

# Fedora / RHEL
sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.1-devel libappindicator-gtk3-devel

# Ubuntu / Debian
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libappindicator3-dev

Then:

npm i
npm start        # tauri dev — Angular dev server + Tauri shell

Build packages

npm run tauri:build               # native installer for current platform
npm run tauri:build:linux-deb     # .deb
npm run tauri:build:linux-rpm     # .rpm
npm run tauri:build:win           # .exe (NSIS)
npm run tauri:build:mac           # .dmg
