2. [Install the Rust compiler](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) in the latest version.
3. Met the prerequisites for building [Tauri](https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites/). Node.js is **not** required, though.
4. Install the Tauri CLI by running `cargo install --version 1.6.2 tauri-cli`.
5. [Install NuShell](https://www.nushell.sh/). NuShell works on all operating systems and is required because the build script is written in NuShell.
6. Clone the repository.
5. Clone the repository.
## One-time mandatory steps
Regardless of whether you want to build the app locally for yourself (not trusting the pre-built binaries) or test your changes before creating a PR, you have to run the following commands at least once:
1. Open a terminal using NuShell.
2. Navigate to the `/app/MindWork AI Studio` directory within the repository.
3. Run `dotnet restore` to bring up the .NET dependencies.
4. Run `nu build.nu publish` to build the entire app.
1. Open a terminal.
2. Navigate to the `/app/Build` directory within the repository.
3. Run `dotnet run build` to build the entire app.
This is necessary because the build script and the Tauri framework assume that the .NET app is available as a so-called "sidecar." Although the sidecar is only necessary for the final release and shipping, Tauri requires it to be present during development as well.
## Build AI Studio from source
In order to build MindWork AI Studio from source instead of using the pre-built binaries, follow these steps:
1. Ensure you have met all the prerequisites.
2. Open a terminal with NuShell.
3. Navigate to the `/app/MindWork AI Studio` directory within the repository.
4. To build the current version, run `nu build.nu publish` to build the entire app.
2. Open a terminal.
3. Navigate to the `/app/Build` directory within the repository.
4. To build the current version, run `dotnet run build` to build the entire app.
- This will build the app for the current operating system, for both x64 (Intel, AMD) and ARM64 (e.g., Apple Silicon, Raspberry Pi).
- The final setup program will be located in `runtime/target/release/bundle` afterward.
- The final setup program will be located in `runtime/target/release` afterward.
5. In order to create a new release:
1. Before finishing the PR, make sure to create a changelog file in the `/app/MindWork AI Studio/wwwroot/changelog` directory. The file should be named `vX.Y.Z.md` and contain the changes made in the release (your changes and any other changes that are part of the release).
2. To prepare a new release, run `nu build.nu prepare <ACTION>`, where `<ACTION>` is either `patch`, `minor`, or `major`.
2. To prepare a new release, run `dotnet run release --action <ACTION>`, where `<ACTION>` is either `patch`, `minor`, or `major`.
3. The actual release will be built by our GitHub Workflow. For this to work, you need to create a PR with your changes.
4. Your proposed changes will be reviewed and merged.
5. Once the PR is merged, a member of the maintainers team will create & push an appropriate git tag in the format `vX.Y.Z`.
