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 + 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.
