Getting Started

Installation

Download a pre-built binary for your platform or build from source. Anide runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

v0.1.0 — early preview

Expect rough edges. Not production ready. Binaries are unsigned — see the platform notes below.

Download

macOS

12 Monterey or later

Apple Silicon (.dmg) Intel (.dmg)

App is unsigned — right-click the .dmg and choose Open to bypass Gatekeeper.

Windows

10 or later (64-bit)

Installer (.exe) MSI package

Linux

Ubuntu 20.04+ / Debian 11+

AppImage Debian .deb RPM

AppImage: make it executable first — chmod +x Anide_*.AppImage

All releases on GitHub

Opening a project

Anide works on any folder. Point it at a Git repository — it creates an .anide/ folder at the repo root to store config.

Launch Anide

Open the app. You'll land on the project picker.

Select your repo

Click "Open folder" and navigate to any Git repository on your machine.

Start working

The .anide/ folder is created automatically. Your .env files are detected on first load.

Build from source

To run the latest unreleased code, clone the repo and start the dev server.

Build dependencies

Rust (stable) — install via rustup.rs
Bun — install via bun.sh
Tauri CLI prerequisites for your OS — see tauri.app/start/prerequisites

terminal

# clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/anide-app/anide
cd anide

# install frontend dependencies
bun install

# run in dev mode — opens the desktop app with hot reload
bun run tauri dev

First compile takes a few minutes while Rust downloads crates — subsequent starts are fast.
