Getting Started

This guide walks you through setting up Local.ts and running your first build.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

Optional: Diesel CLI

For database migrations, optionally install Diesel CLI:

cargo install diesel_cli

git clone https://github.com/zap-studio/local.ts.git my-app
cd my-app

pnpm install

This installs npm packages.

turbo tauri -- dev

This starts the Vite development server with hot reload and opens your app in a native window. Changes to your React code will update instantly.

Create a production build for your current platform:

turbo tauri -- build

The output will be in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/ with platform-specific installers.

After cloning, update your app's name, version, and branding. See the Project Identity guide for a complete walkthrough.

Local.ts includes several scripts to streamline your development workflow.

Command	Description
`turbo dev`	Start Vite dev server (frontend only)
`turbo tauri -- dev`	Start full app with hot reload
`turbo tauri -- build`	Build for production
`turbo check`	TypeScript type checking
`turbo lint`	Run linter
`turbo format`	Format code
`turbo test`	Run tests
`turbo validate`	Run build, check, lint, and test to validate everything passes

Tip

The validate script is useful before committing or deploying — it ensures your code builds correctly and passes all quality checks in one command.
