First, please follow all instructions to setup your dev environment as can be found here:
Our preference is to use cargo to run tauri, instead of yarn/npm, just because it is a bit faster.
Once your rust toolchain is setup, please run:
cargo install tauri-cli --version ^1.0.0-beta.2
Then to install nodejs dependencies:
> yarn
And finally to install rust dependencies and compile:
> cargo tauri dev
To see the development process, and when you are ready to bundle the binary:
> cargo tauri build
If at any time you want to confirm that your dependencies are up to date, run:
> cargo tauri info
And, if for some reason you need to debug the bundled binary, run:
> cargo tauri build --debug
Once you are done building, the binary executable will be found in the src-tauri/target/release/bundle folder.
