## Contributing

### Requirements

Rust and Node must be installed at a minimum.

### Build

To build an installer, run `bun run tauri build`, or whatever whatever the equivalent binary is for your node 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](https://code.visualstudio.com/) + [Tauri](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tauri-apps.tauri-vscode) + [rust-analyzer](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rust-lang.rust-analyzer) + [Angular Language Service](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Angular.ng-template).

### 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.
