```
### Sidecar
1. Build the server
```shell
# Working dir: .
# Windows
go build -o seanime.exe -trimpath -ldflags="-s -w" -tags=nosystray
# Linux, macOS
go build -o seanime -trimpath -ldflags="-s -w"
```
2. Move the binary to `./seanime-desktop/src-tauri/binaries`
3. Rename the binary to `seanime-{TARGET_TRIPLE}`. [Reference](https://v2.tauri.app/develop/sidecar/).
- `seanime-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.exe` for Windows
- `seanime-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` for Linux
- `seanime-x86_64-apple-darwin` for macOS (Intel-based)

### Tauri
1. Setup
```shell
# Working dir: ./seanime-desktop
npm install

2. Run
`TEST_DATADIR` is needed when running in development mode, it should point to a dummy data directory for Seanime.

# Working dir: ./seanime-desktop
TEST_DATADIR="/path/to/data/dir" npm run start
# or
TEST_DATADIR="/path/to/data/dir" tauri dev
```

## Build
### Web Interface
- **Option A:**
Uses `.env.desktop` and outputs to `./seanime-web/out-desktop`
```shell
# Working dir: ./seanime-web
npm run build:desktop
```
Move the output to `./web-desktop`
```shell
# UNIX command
mv ./seanime-web/out-desktop ./web-desktop
```
- **Option B:**
Uses `.env.development.desktop` and outputs to `./web-desktop`
```shell
# Working dir: ./seanime-web
npm run build:development:desktop
```
### Sidecar
1. Build the server
```shell
# Working dir: .
# Windows
go build -o seanime.exe -trimpath -ldflags="-s -w" -tags=nosystray
# Linux, macOS
go build -o seanime -trimpath -ldflags="-s -w"
```
2. Move the binary to `./seanime-desktop/src-tauri/binaries`
3. Rename the binary to `seanime-{TARGET_TRIPLE}`. [Reference](https://v2.tauri.app/develop/sidecar/).
- `seanime-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.exe` for Windows
- `seanime-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` for Linux
- `seanime-x86_64-apple-darwin` for macOS (Intel-based)
- `seanime-aarch64-apple-darwin` for macOS (Apple Silicon)
### Tauri
Set the signing private key and password. [Reference](https://v2.tauri.app/plugin/updater/#signing-updates).
- `TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY`
- `TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD`
```shell
# Working dir: ./seanime-desktop
TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY="" TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD="" npm run tauri build
