Getting started & download

Download and supported platforms

The current release is v0.0.12 (released 2026-11-07). Release packages are MSI only: the bundle target in tauri.conf.json is ["msi"].

Package	Platform	Notes
MSI installer	Windows (primary target)	The only package published by the release process
—	Linux / macOS	No installer is published; build from source (below)

Installers are published on the GitHub Releases page: github.com/wrolp/wrolp/releases.

System requirements

Windows is the primary target; the project can also run and be developed on Linux and macOS.
No extra system dependencies are needed on macOS and Windows.
Building on Debian/Ubuntu requires the packages listed below.
Rust is required (installed through rustup); frontend dependencies are installed with yarn.

Linux build dependencies (Debian/Ubuntu)

sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config libdbus-1-dev libssl-dev libgtk-3-dev \
  libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-dev libsoup-3.0-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev

Rust and frontend dependencies

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
yarn

Run in development

yarn tauri dev      # full stack (Tauri starts the Vite dev server automatically)
yarn dev            # frontend only, for pure UI debugging (no Rust/SSH)

yarn dev serves the React frontend alone, so SSH, SFTP and every Rust-backed panel are unavailable in that mode.

Build

yarn build:clean    # build after clearing the separate target directory
yarn tauri build    # incremental development build

Command	Output location
`yarn build:clean`	`src-tauri/target-release/release/bundle/`
`yarn tauri build`	`src-tauri/target/`

Test

cd src-tauri && cargo check && cargo clippy && cargo test
cd src-tauri && cargo run --bin ssh_test   # a standalone russh connectivity probe
npx playwright install && yarn test:e2e    # Playwright frontend E2E; the backend is stubbed via window.__TAURI_INTERNALS__, so no Rust build is needed

The Playwright suite contains about 100 specs under e2e/ui/; the backend is stubbed through window.__TAURI_INTERNALS__, so no Rust build is needed to run it.

Publish a release

gh auth login -h github.com
yarn run publish    # build first, then upload to a GitHub Release; RELEASE_SKIP_CLEAN=1 reuses existing artifacts

Publishing uses the GitHub CLI. The updater points at a GitHub Release endpoint and verifies packages against the pubkey configured in tauri.conf.json, so set a real key before publishing.
