Local Development & Build

Setting up the local environment requires spinning up both the Node.js API and the Rust/React Tauri client.

1. Running the Backend (t-server)

Ensure Node.js v20+ is installed and use npm:

bash
cd t-server
npm install
cp .env.example .env # Add your Alpha Vantage & NewsAPI keys
npm run dev

The server initializes trentarev.sqlite in the ./data folder on port 3000.

2. Building the Desktop Client (t-desk)

Ensure the Rust toolchain is installed (rustc --version).

bash
cd t-desk
bun run tauri dev # Run in Dev Mode (HMR enabled)
bun run tauri build # Compile optimized production MSI/EXE
