Xlate's operating system designed to run portably across all types of devices and circumstances.
We chose to use rust for this. I've only ever built things like this in C++, and while it's a great language, the build tooling that comes with rust (cargo crates) is just too good. And the modernized windows and "just works" local development is a no-brainer.
Make sure you have rust installed. It should be super simple.
cargo build --release
cargo install --path .
To update and run the CLI, unfortunately Rust doesn't support the ability to automatically sync the CLI command with local changes (the equivalent of python's pip install -e . flag for -e which adds this feature). So, instead we have to make sure to rebuild the package and THEN run the CLI.
So, after making changes in the repo, you should run:
cargo install --path .
xos --help
Note: xos is our CLI command.
Don't forget to use the --tunnel in npx expo start --tunnel, otherwise weird things occur (you'll just see a JSON payload).
