Project Structure
▶ Running from Source
Prerequisites
Install the following tools:
- Node.js (opens in a new tab)
- npm (opens in a new tab)
- [Git](http://git-scm.org/)
Local Worker Process
The desktop version of the application runs a separate worker process, responsible for search index creation and for generating thumbnails for most image formats.
No setup is needed. The worker is started as an Electron utilityProcess and the application talks to it over that process's message port (see src/main/wsClient.ts), so it opens no network port and needs no key or .env file. Each running instance only ever talks to its own worker.
Start in Development Mode
npm run dev
This will start a development server in background, which watches for changes in background and refreshes the application automatically once you have done some changes in the source code.
