​
Overview

Praydo is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can either download pre-built binaries or build the application from source.

​
Download Pre-built Binaries

Pre-built binaries for your platform will be available on the releases page once published.
Download the appropriate installer for your platform:
  • Windows: .exe or .msi installer (NSIS)
  • Linux: .deb package (Debian/Ubuntu) or .rpm package (Fedora/RHEL)
  • macOS: .dmg or .app bundle
After downloading, run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

​
Building from Source

If you prefer to build Praydo from source, follow these instructions.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:
1

Install Tauri Prerequisites

Follow the Tauri development prerequisites guide for your operating system. This includes:
  • Rust (via rustup)
  • Node.js (v18 or later)
  • System dependencies (varies by OS)
2

Install pnpm

Praydo uses pnpm as its package manager. Install it globally:
npm install -g pnpm
Or use corepack (recommended):
corepack enable

​
Development Setup

To set up Praydo for development:
1

Clone the Repository

Clone the Praydo repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/praydo.git
cd praydo
2

Install Dependencies

Install all required dependencies using pnpm:
pnpm install
This will install both frontend (SvelteKit) and backend (Rust/Tauri) dependencies.
3

Run in Development Mode

Start the development server:
pnpm tauri dev
This will launch the application in development mode with hot-reload enabled. The app will automatically reload when you make changes to the code.
The development server runs the frontend on http://localhost:1420 and opens the Tauri window automatically.

​
Building for Production

To create a production build:
1

Run Build Command

Execute the build command:
pnpm tauri build
This will:
  1. Build the SvelteKit frontend
  2. Compile the Rust backend
  3. Package everything into platform-specific installers
2

Locate Build Artifacts

After the build completes, you’ll find the installers in:
src-tauri/target/release/bundle/
The exact format depends on your platform:
  • Windows: nsis/ directory
  • Linux: deb/ and rpm/ directories
  • macOS: dmg/ or macos/ directory
The first build may take several minutes as Rust compiles all dependencies. Subsequent builds will be faster thanks to caching.

​
System Requirements

​
Minimum Requirements

  • OS: Windows 10+, macOS 10.15+, or modern Linux distribution
  • RAM: 512 MB
  • Disk Space: 100 MB
  • Internet: Required for location search and initial setup

​
Supported Platforms

Praydo officially supports:
  • Windows (x64)
  • macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon)
  • Linux (x64)
    • Debian/Ubuntu (.deb)
    • Fedora/RHEL (.rpm)

​
Troubleshooting

Ensure you have the latest stable version of Rust installed:
rustup update stable
Try clearing the pnpm cache and reinstalling:
pnpm store prune
pnpm install
Check that all system dependencies are installed according to the Tauri prerequisites guide.
