🌟 Overview

opcode is a powerful desktop application that transforms how you interact with Claude Code. Built with Tauri 2, it provides a beautiful GUI for managing your Claude Code sessions, creating custom agents, tracking usage, and much more.

Think of opcode as your command center for Claude Code - bridging the gap between the command-line tool and a visual experience that makes AI-assisted development more intuitive and productive.

• Test connections before using

🚀 Installation

Prerequisites

• Claude Code CLI: Install from Claude's official site

Release Executables Will Be Published Soon

🔨 Build from Source

Prerequisites

Before building opcode from source, ensure you have the following installed:

System Requirements

• Operating System: Windows 10/11, macOS 11+, or Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+)
• RAM: Minimum 4GB (8GB recommended)
• Storage: At least 1GB free space

Required Tools

1. Rust (1.70.0 or later)

   # Install via rustup
   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
   

2. Bun (latest version)

   # Install bun
   curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
   

3. Git

   # Usually pre-installed, but if not:
   # Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install git
   # macOS: brew install git
   # Windows: Download from https://git-scm.com
   

4. Claude Code CLI

   • Download and install from Claude's official site
   • Ensure claude is available in your PATH

Platform-Specific Dependencies

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)

# Install system dependencies
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y \
  libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev \
  libgtk-3-dev \
  libayatana-appindicator3-dev \
  librsvg2-dev \
  patchelf \
  build-essential \
  curl \
  wget \
  file \
  libssl-dev \
  libxdo-dev \
  libsoup-3.0-dev \
  libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-dev

macOS

# Install Xcode Command Line Tools
xcode-select --install

# Install additional dependencies via Homebrew (optional)
brew install pkg-config

Windows

• Install Microsoft C++ Build Tools
• Install WebView2 (usually pre-installed on Windows 11)

Build Steps

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/getAsterisk/opcode.git
   cd opcode
   

2. Install Frontend Dependencies

   bun install
   

3. Build the Application

   For Development (with hot reload)

   bun run tauri dev
   

   For Production Build

   # Build the application
   bun run tauri build
   
   # The built executable will be in:
   # - Linux: src-tauri/target/release/
   # - macOS: src-tauri/target/release/
   # - Windows: src-tauri/target/release/
   

4. Platform-Specific Build Options

   Debug Build (faster compilation, larger binary)

   bun run tauri build --debug
   

   Universal Binary for macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon)

   bun run tauri build --target universal-apple-darwin
   

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "cargo not found" error

   • Ensure Rust is installed and ~/.cargo/bin is in your PATH
   • Run source ~/.cargo/env or restart your terminal

2. Linux: "webkit2gtk not found" error

   • Install the webkit2gtk development packages listed above
   • On newer Ubuntu versions, you might need libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev

3. Windows: "MSVC not found" error

   • Install Visual Studio Build Tools with C++ support
   • Restart your terminal after installation

4. "claude command not found" error

   • Ensure Claude Code CLI is installed and in your PATH
   • Test with claude --version

5. Build fails with "out of memory"

   • Try building with fewer parallel jobs: cargo build -j 2
   • Close other applications to free up RAM

Verify Your Build

After building, you can verify the application works:

# Run the built executable directly
# Linux/macOS
./src-tauri/target/release/opcode

# Windows
./src-tauri/target/release/opcode.exe

Build Artifacts

The build process creates several artifacts:

• Executable: The main opcode application
• Installers (when using tauri build):
  • .deb package (Linux)
  • .AppImage (Linux)
  • .dmg installer (macOS)
  • .msi installer (Windows)
  • .exe installer (Windows)

All artifacts are located in src-tauri/target/release/.

🛠️ Development

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React 18 + TypeScript + Vite 6
• Backend: Rust with Tauri 2
• UI Framework: Tailwind CSS v4 + shadcn/ui
• Database: SQLite (via rusqlite)
• Package Manager: Bun
