Developer setup

Overview

Node.js, Rust, Tauri, React, SQLite, and development commands.

Stellar keeps research data local-first and asks the researcher to stay in control.

Main guidance

Use this page as a practical checklist for the feature or workflow.

• Use Node.js 22 or later, Rust 1.75 or later, and Tauri CLI.
• Run npm install, npm run tauri dev, npm run tauri build, and npm run lint.
• Keep development guidance aligned with the no-AI, local-first direction.

Recommended workflow

Treat the steps below as a working rhythm. Start small, confirm the result, then expand the workflow only when it helps the research.

• Use Node.js 22 or later, Rust 1.75 or later, and Tauri CLI.
• Run npm install, npm run tauri dev, npm run tauri build, and npm run lint.
• Keep development guidance aligned with the no-AI, local-first direction.

Checks before relying on this page

Before treating the result as durable research material, check metadata, links, backups, and whether the page still matches the current implementation.

• Confirm that the relevant data is saved locally and can be found again.
• Check that links, citations, exports, or backups still point to the intended material.
• When the workflow touches security or recovery, test the restore path before depending on it.
