cd openconcho

Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

2. Docker

  • Docker Desktop Needed to build and run containers. Install it and keep it running in the background.
docker compose up -d --build

Builds and starts all defined containers (server, database, etc.) at once, in the background.

Run docker compose ps to check the containers are Up. If the README mentions a port, open http://localhost:PORT in your browser.

3. Node.js

Easy
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Node.js Node.js must be installed to use npm. The LTS version is recommended.
pnpm install

Downloads and installs the libraries listed in package.json.

4. Rust

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Rust (rustup) Installing via rustup also installs cargo.
⚠️ This is a large repository, so this method may point to an internal sub-package rather than the actual core product. Check the full README as well.
cd packages/desktop/src-tauri

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

cargo build --release

Compiles the Rust project.

cargo run

Builds and then immediately runs the program.

If cargo build finishes without errors, it worked. The executable is created under target/.

5. Make

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Make Usually pre-installed on Linux/macOS. On Windows, install separately (e.g. via MSYS2 or WSL).
make down # stop + remove (dev or prod)

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

make clean # down + drop the locally built image

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

If it finishes without errors, it worked. Try running the generated executable directly.
