• Rust >= 1.94
• Tauri CLI

Setup

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Run development server
pnpm run dev:tauri

Build

# Build for production
pnpm run build:tauri

Customization

1. Configure Application Settings

Edit .env file to customize your application:

# Application Information
APP_NAME=Your App Name
APP_NAME_KEBAB=your-app-name
APP_DESCRIPTION=Your app description
APP_SUMMARY=Short summary

# Author Information
AUTHOR_NAME=Your Name
AUTHOR_EMAIL=your@email.com

# GitHub Repository
GITHUB_USER=username
GITHUB_REPO=repository-name

# URLs
VITE_PROJECT_URL=https://github.com/username/repository
HOMEPAGE_URL=https://yourdomain.com
DOCS_URL=https://yourdomain.com/docs

2. Update Package Metadata

The build scripts automatically generate package files from .env:

• Chocolatey: .choco/app.nuspec.template → .choco/{APP_NAME_KEBAB}.nuspec
• Homebrew: .homebrew/app.rb.template → .homebrew/{APP_NAME_KEBAB}.rb

3. Synchronize Version Numbers

After changing VERSION in .env, run the version sync script to update all configuration files:

Windows (PowerShell):

.\scripts\update-version.ps1

macOS/Linux (Bash):

./scripts/update-version.sh

This will automatically update:

• frontend/package.json
• backend/tauri.conf.json
• backend/Cargo.toml

4. Other Customizations

1. Replace icons in backend/icons/
2. Customize frontend/src/components/MainContent.vue with your own logic
3. Add your own Tauri commands in backend/src/command.rs
4. Update localization files in frontend/src/locales/
5. Edit backend/setup-vcpkg.sh and backend/setup-vcpkg.ps1 to statically link any vcpkg libraries your app needs
