Building from source

Requirements

You need Node.js 20+, npm, Rust stable, and the Tauri 2 prerequisites for your platform.

npm install
npm run tauri dev

Common commands

Command	Purpose
npm run dev	Front-end preview only, without native networking or file access
npm run tauri dev	Run the desktop client
npm run tauri -- build	Produce an installer for the current desktop platform
npm run android:build	Build the Android client
npm run ios:build	Build the iOS client

Do not re-initialise the native projects

The generated mobile projects contain custom native bridging code (the Android multicast lock, the iOS Bonjour adapter, and the Xcode build script). Unless you intend to re-merge changes in the generated directories, do not run tauri android init or tauri ios init again.

Continuous integration

.github/workflows/ci.yml runs on every push to main and on every pull request:

• npm run build (front-end type check and bundle)
• cargo fmt --check
• cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
• cargo test --lib (the Rust client core)

Installers are produced by .github/workflows/build-installers.yml, triggered manually with a release tag.

Per-platform pages

• Windows installer — build the NSIS installer with GitHub Actions or on Windows itself.
• Android and iOS — signing setup, device builds, and device acceptance order.
