1. For Developers

Quick start for devs

Start in in 3 steps:

  1. Clone the repository git clone git@github.com:silaorg/sila.git
  2. Run in your terminal at the root of the repository - cd sila && npm install && npm run dev to install all the necessary npm packages and launch a desktop build.
  3. To build for production - npm run build

Linux: Electron sandbox fix

If the desktop dev build fails with a chrome-sandbox SUID error, run:

bash
    sudo chown root node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox

Then rerun npm run dev.

Debug with breakpoints

If you want to debug with breakpoints in a VSCode-based editor (e.g Cursor), go to "Start Debugging F5" and start "👉 Debug Electron All".
