Install

Download

Visit the Download page to get the latest release for your platform.

Install from Source

If you prefer to build from source or no binary is available for your platform:

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 22
• pnpm >= 9
• Rust (for Tauri build)
• Platform-specific Tauri requirements (Tauri prerequisites)

Build Steps

git clone https://github.com/alvinluo-tech/CoreLayer.git
cd CoreLayer
pnpm install
pnpm build

The build output will be in frontend/src-tauri/target/release/.

Development Mode

To run in development mode with hot reload:

pnpm dev

This starts both the daemon and the Tauri frontend concurrently.

After Installing

1. Open Control Center — launch the CoreLayer desktop app
2. Configure a model provider — add your API key for MiMo, Groq, OpenRouter, or a local model
3. Add an MCP server — connect your first external tool
4. Review permissions — understand the permission guard before enabling tool execution
5. Try your first command — use the command palette (Alt+Space) or voice

Troubleshooting

If the app fails to start:

• Check that Node.js 22+ and pnpm 9+ are installed
• Verify platform-specific Tauri prerequisites are met
• Check the daemon logs in the Control Center
• See Troubleshooting for common issues
