Developer Setup GUI (overview)

The Developer Setup GUI is a Tauri 2.x desktop app that helps you install prerequisites, create environment files, and run the FoodTruckNerdz workspace (for example, the ftn-site clone on your machine).

  • New here? Install a release — download from GitHub; on macOS / Linux you may need chmod +x and ./... (see that page). No build tools required.

  • Contributing to the app? Develop from source — Rust, Node, pnpm, and tauri dev / tauri build.

  • What the scripts do: PowerShell scripts — setup.ps1 and run.ps1.

Back to: Getting started (onboarding home).

What the app does

  • Visual setup wizard

  • Prerequisites: Node.js, Corepack, pnpm

Repository layout (where this app lives)

The application source lives in the FoodTruckNerdz/onboarding repository, under the setup-gui/ directory, alongside the Antora-based onboarding text you are reading.
