Usage
Check releases for pre-built binaries or appimages.
Building
make install
make build
Building in Docker
make docker-build
The build will be in the dist directory.
Development
make develop
Python packaging
The backend now provides pyproject.toml so you can build/install a wheel with pip install . or python -m build. Before packaging, run python3 scripts/sync_version.py (or make sync-version) so the generated src/version.py reflects the package.json version that the Electron artifacts use. The same version helper drives meshchat.get_app_version() and setup.py, so the CLI release metadata, wheel and AppImage/NSIS bundles stay aligned.
