Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md for details on how can you help the project and how to provide information so we can help you in case of troubles with the app.

Building

Application is a Tauri project (Rust backend, React/TypeScript frontend) and can be built on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The following are required system dependencies for building the project:

• Node.js (LTS)
• Rust (stable toolchain)
• gettext
  • Can be installed on Windows using msys2
  • Can be installed on macOS using brew install gettext

Once all dependencies are available on the system, run:

npm install
npm run tauri dev

to run the app in development mode, or:

npm install
npm run tauri build

to build a release bundle for your platform.

Installing

Windows

The recommended method is to use the pre-built Windows installer from the Releases section.

However, you can also build an installer manually by running npm run tauri build, which produces an .msi installer under src-tauri/target/release/bundle/msi.

macOS

The recommended method is to use the pre-built app from the Releases section.

However, you can also build the app manually by running npm run tauri build, which produces a .app bundle under src-tauri/target/release/bundle/macos. Note that this build is currently unsigned and unnotarized, so on first launch you will need to right-click the app and select "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper.

Linux

The recommended method is to use the flatpak available on Flathub.

However, you can also build a flatpak of the app manually using the flatpak manifest file.

You can also install the application locally from source using the linux install script.
