✅ Development Environment Setup Complete

Your EVE development environment is ready to go!

What's Been Set Up

✅ Project Structure

• Tauri (Rust) backend configured
• React + TypeScript frontend
• TailwindCSS for styling
• Vite build tool
• ESLint + Prettier for code quality

✅ Dependencies Installed

• All Node.js packages installed (282 packages)
• Rust toolchain detected (v1.88.0)

✅ Files Created

• Configuration files (package.json, tsconfig.json, vite.config.ts, etc.)
• Tauri backend (src-tauri/)
• React frontend (src/)
• README with full documentation
• Environment template (.env.example)

Next Steps

1. Start Development Server

To see your app in action:

npm run tauri:dev

This will:

• Build the Rust backend
• Start the Vite dev server
• Launch the EVE desktop application

Note: First run will take a few minutes as Rust compiles dependencies.

2. Set Up API Keys (Optional)

If you want to enable AI features:

# Copy the example env file
cp .env.example .env

# Edit .env and add your API keys
# - OpenAI API key for GPT models
# - ElevenLabs API key for TTS

3. Development Workflow

# Start development
npm run tauri:dev

# In another terminal, run tests (when added)
npm run test

# Format code
npm run format

# Lint code
npm run lint

Quick Test

The starter app includes a simple greeting function to test the Tauri integration:

1. Run npm run tauri:dev
2. Enter your name in the input field
3. Click "Greet" to test the Rust ↔ React communication

Known Issues

• ⚠️ Icons not yet created (placeholder in src-tauri/icons/)
• ⚠️ 2 moderate npm vulnerabilities (non-critical for development)

To address npm vulnerabilities later:

npm audit fix

What's Next?

According to the Project Plan, Phase 1 includes:

Immediate Priorities

1. ✅ Basic application structure (DONE)
2. ⏳ LLM integration module
3. ⏳ Chat interface UI
4. ⏳ Settings/configuration system
5. ⏳ Message history display

See the project plan for the full 18-week roadmap!
