Building

Thanks Tauri's documentation, the OS specific installations are documented there.

Step 1.

• Installing Tauri and Rust according to Tauri's documentation
• We also intend to use a JavaScript frontend framework, so we need Node.js installed as well (also in the docs above).

Step 2.

• Cloning the project

git clone https://github.com/AdamTmHun/TagStudio.git
cd TagStudio

Step 3.

• Installing packages
• We recommend using pnpm as package manager. It's fast, space efficient. It's just better.

pnpm install

Step 4.

• You can now run a dev server, or build the project.

Warning

You may need the WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 AND/OR WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1enviroment variable while running the command below if you get a blank screen.

pnpm tauri dev

• Building and then running the project.

Caution

Linux: It requires NO_STRIP=true as enviroment variable due to a bug in linuxdeploy, which is used to build .Appimage file.

pnpm tauri build

Step 5.

Warning

You may need the WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 AND/OR WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 enviroment variable while running the command below if you get a blank screen.

• Locate the binary in /src-tauri/target/release/bundle, pray and then run it.
