Requirements

Rust and a javascript runtime such as Node or Bun must be installed at a minimum to build the desktop app.

Build

To build an installer, run bun run tauri build, or whatever whatever the equivalent binary is for your javascript runtime.

Code Formatting

Use rust-analyzer and you won't need to worry about rust formatting, please use prettier for formatting front-end/angular related files.

Recommended IDE Setup

VS Code + Tauri + rust-analyzer + Angular Language Service.

Troubleshooting

If building in VS Code on macOS, and you get a message Error failed to bundle project: error running bundle_dmg.sh, run the build in a terminal outside of VS Code. This error is occurring as VS Code doesn't have the required file permissions.
