🌟 Overview

Claudia 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 Claudia 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.

🚀 Installation

Prerequisites

Claude Code CLI: Install from Claude's official site

Release Executables Will Be Published Soon

🔨 Build from Source

Prerequisites

Before building Claudia 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

Rust (1.70.0 or later)

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

Bun (latest version)

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

Git

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

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

Clone the Repository

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

Install Frontend Dependencies
```
bun install
```

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/bundle/
# - macOS: src-tauri/target/release/bundle/
# - Windows: src-tauri/target/release/bundle/

Platform-Specific Build Options

Debug Build (faster compilation, larger binary)
```
bun run tauri build --debug
```
Build without bundling (creates just the executable)
```
bun run tauri build --no-bundle
```
Universal Binary for macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon)
```
bun run tauri build --target universal-apple-darwin
```

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"cargo not found" error
- Ensure Rust is installed and ~/.cargo/bin is in your PATH
- Run source ~/.cargo/env or restart your terminal
Linux: "webkit2gtk not found" error
- Install the webkit2gtk development packages listed above
- On newer Ubuntu versions, you might need libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev
Windows: "MSVC not found" error
- Install Visual Studio Build Tools with C++ support
- Restart your terminal after installation
"claude command not found" error
- Ensure Claude Code CLI is installed and in your PATH
- Test with claude --version
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/claudia

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

Build Artifacts

The build process creates several artifacts:

Executable: The main Claudia 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/bundle/.
