### Local Development Quick Start
Source: https://github.com/refactoringhq/tolaria/blob/main/README.md
Commands to install dependencies and start the development server for Tolaria.
```bash
pnpm install
pnpm dev
```
--------------------------------
### Create Getting Started Vault with Explicit Target Path
Source: https://github.com/refactoringhq/tolaria/blob/main/docs/adr/0046-starter-vault-cloned-from-github.md
This function creates the getting started vault by cloning a public repository to a user-specified target path. It replaces the previous method that defaulted to a specific directory.
```rust
async fn create_getting_started_vault(target_path: &Path) -> Result<(), anyhow::Error> {
let repo_url = LAPUTA_GETTING_STARTED_REPO_URL;
clone_public_repo(target_path, repo_url).await
}
```
--------------------------------
### Install Dependencies and Run Development Server
Source: https://github.com/refactoringhq/tolaria/blob/main/docs/GETTING-STARTED.md
Install project dependencies and run the development server locally. Use `pnpm dev` for a browser-based version or `pnpm tauri dev` for the full Tauri application.
```bash
# Install dependencies
pnpm install
# Run in browser (no Rust needed — uses mock data)
pnpm dev
# Open http://localhost:5173
# Run with Tauri (full app, requires Rust)
pnpm tauri dev
```
--------------------------------

--------------------------------
### Linux AppImage Packaging Note
Source: https://github.com/refactoringhq/tolaria/blob/main/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
This note describes the use of Tauri's stock linuxdeploy AppImage output plugin for Linux packaging. It mentions the availability of local tools for advanced AppRun patching but explains why they are not used in the release process.
```text
Linux AppImage release jobs use Tauri's stock linuxdeploy AppImage output plugin. `scripts/appimage-launcher-tools.mjs` remains available for local experiments with symlink-safe AppRun patching and fcitx module bundling, but release packaging does not pre-seed that shim because linuxdeploy currently exits before sealing the AppImage when the shim replaces the stock output plugin in Tauri's tools cache.
```
