Carpe leverages the power of Tauri for building secure, lightweight desktop applications and Svelte for creating efficient, reactive web interfaces. The template for Carpe can be found at: https://github.com/jbarszczewski/tauri-svelte-template.
To start developing with Carpe, you need to set up your development environment by installing the necessary dependencies and configuring your system.
Ensure you have the following prerequisites installed:
- Node.js: Version 16. Download it from https://nodejs.org.
- Yarn: A dependency management system. Install it via npm with
npm install -g yarn. - Rust: The Rust programming language environment. The specific version of Rust will install automatically, but ensure you have the Rust toolchain by getting it from https://rustup.rs/.
Additionally, you'll need to set up your environment for Tauri development:
- Follow the Tauri setup guide: Setting up your environment.
- For Windows users, a specific guide is available: Windows development environment setup.
-
Install Rust Dependencies: Navigate to the
src-tauri/directory and build the Rust codebase:cd src-tauri/ cargo build -
Install JavaScript Dependencies: Return to the project root directory and install the JavaScript dependencies using Yarn:
cd .. yarn -
Start the Development Server: Launch the development server with:
yarn dev
Closing the app window exits the development/debug mode.
Compile and package your Carpe application for production with:
yarn buildThis generates an optimized version of your application, including standalone executables and installers, in the src-tauri/target/release directory.
