Development

This page describes how to prepare the development environment.

---

Install Frontend Dependencies

From the project root:

cd frontend
npm install

Run the Frontend Manually

npm run tauri:dev

Install Backend Dependencies

From the project root, navigate to backend directory:

cd backend
poetry install --all-extras --with dev

Run the Backend Manually

For development:

cd backend
poetry run uvicorn main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765
# or
bash /start.sh

Verify the Backend

Run:

curl http://127.0.0.1:8765/openapi.json

A JSON response confirms that the backend is running correctly.

Check the Backend Port

lsof -nP -iTCP:8765 -sTCP:LISTEN

Development Architecture

During development, the Python backend can run directly through Poetry and Uvicorn.

This avoids packaging the backend every time frontend code changes.
