Before building or developing Arco, you need to install the following:

1. Go - Programming language
2. Wails v3 - Framework for building desktop applications with Go and web technologies

   # You can install Wails v3 system-wide (or you just use go tool wails3)
   go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/cmd/wails3@latest

3. pnpm - Package manager for the frontend
4. Task - Task runner used to build and develop Arco

   # macOS
   brew install go-task/tap/go-task
   
   # Linux
   sh -c "$(curl --location https://taskfile.dev/install.sh)" -- -d -b ~/.local/bin

To build a redistributable, run the following command in the project directory:

task build

This will build both the frontend and backend, and package the application for your platform.

To run in live development mode, run:

task dev

This will run a Vite development server that provides fast hot reload of your frontend changes. The backend will also automatically rebuild when you make changes to the Go code.

For frontend-only development, you can run:

task dev:frontend

For more development commands, see the CLAUDE.md file, which contains a comprehensive list of all available commands for building, testing, and developing Arco.
