---

📥 Installation

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/soulsync-desktop.git
cd soulsync-desktop

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Automated Installation (Recommended)

# This installs everything: root, frontend, and backend dependencies
yarn install

The postinstall script automatically:

1. ✅ Installs root Electron dependencies
2. ✅ Installs frontend React dependencies
3. ✅ Installs backend Python dependencies

Manual Installation (If Needed)

# Install root dependencies (Electron)
yarn install

# Install frontend dependencies
cd frontend
yarn install
cd ..

# Install backend dependencies
cd backend
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd ..

Step 3: Environment Configuration

Backend Configuration

The backend uses local JSON file storage and doesn't require MongoDB or any external database.

Optional: Configure Telegram Emergency Notifications

If you want to enable emergency contact notifications via Telegram:

1. Create a Telegram Bot:

   • Open Telegram and search for @BotFather
   • Send /newbot and follow the instructions
   • Copy your bot token

2. Update backend/.env:

# Optional: Telegram Bot for Emergency Alerts
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your_bot_token_here

3. Get your Telegram Chat ID:
   • Send a message to @userinfobot on Telegram
   • It will reply with your Chat ID
   • Users can configure this in the Settings page

Frontend Configuration

The frontend is already configured to communicate with the local backend:

# frontend/.env (already configured)
REACT_APP_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:8001

No changes needed! The app is ready to run.

---

🖥️ Running as Desktop App

• ✅ Launches the Electron desktop window
• ✅ Enables hot reload for both frontend and backend

Production Mode (Local)

To run the app with production builds:

# 1. Build the frontend
cd frontend
yarn build
cd ..

# 2. Start Electron with production build
yarn start

Keyboard Shortcuts

💻 Development Guide

Project Setup

# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/soulsync-desktop.git
cd soulsync-desktop
yarn install

Development Workflow

1. Start Development Servers

# Terminal 1: Start everything
yarn dev

# Or run separately:

# Terminal 1: Backend only
cd backend
uvicorn server:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8001

# Terminal 2: Frontend only
cd frontend
yarn start

# Terminal 3: Electron only
yarn start

2. Making Changes

Frontend Changes:

• Edit files in frontend/src/
• Hot reload is automatic
• Changes appear instantly

Backend Changes:

• Edit backend/server.py
• Uvicorn auto-reloads with --reload flag
• Changes applied automatically

Electron Changes:

• Edit electron/main.js or electron/preload.js
• Restart Electron: Close window and run yarn start

Adding New Features

Frontend Component

# Create new component
touch frontend/src/components/NewFeature.jsx

// frontend/src/components/NewFeature.jsx
import React from 'react';

export const NewFeature = () => {
  return (
    <div className="p-4 bg-primary/10 rounded-lg">
      <h2 className="text-2xl font-bold text-primary">New Feature</h2>
      <p className="text-muted-foreground">Feature description</p>
    </div>
  );
};

Backend API Endpoint

# backend/server.py

@api_router.post("/new-feature")
async def new_feature(data: dict):
    """New feature endpoint."""
    # Process data
    result = {"success": True, "data": data}
    return result

Electron IPC Handler

// electron/main.js

ipcMain.handle('new-feature', async (event, data) => {
  console.log('New feature called:', data);
  return { success: true };
});

// electron/preload.js

contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('electron', {
  newFeature: (data) => ipcRenderer.invoke('new-feature', data)
});

Code Style

JavaScript/React

• Follow ESLint configuration
• Use functional components with hooks
• Use Tailwind CSS utility classes
• Follow component naming conventions

Python

• Follow PEP 8 style guide
• Use type hints with Pydantic models
• Async/await for all I/O operations
• Clear docstrings for all functions

Testing

# Frontend tests (if configured)
cd frontend
yarn test

# Backend tests
cd backend
pytest

# E2E tests (coming soon)
yarn test:e2e

Hot Reload

• Frontend: React hot reload works automatically
• Backend: Uvicorn auto-reloads with --reload flag
• Electron Main Process: Manual restart required
• Electron Renderer: Uses React hot reload

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

Issue 1: Dependencies Won't Install

Problem: yarn install fails or takes too long

Solutions:

# Clear yarn cache
yarn cache clean

# Remove node_modules and reinstall
rm -rf node_modules frontend/node_modules
yarn install

# Use npm instead if Yarn fails
npm install
cd frontend && npm install

Issue 2: Electron Won't Start

Problem: yarn start shows Electron errors

Solutions:

# Check if Electron is installed
ls node_modules/.bin/electron

# Reinstall Electron
yarn add electron@^28.0.0 --dev

# Clear Electron cache
rm -rf node_modules/electron
yarn install

# Try rebuilding native modules
cd node_modules/electron && npm run install

Issue 3: Backend Won't Start

Problem: Backend server fails to start

Solutions:

# Check Python dependencies
cd backend
pip list | grep fastapi

# Reinstall requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt --force-reinstall

# Check if port 8001 is available
lsof -i :8001          # macOS/Linux
netstat -ano | findstr :8001  # Windows

# Start manually to see errors
cd backend
python -m uvicorn server:app --reload --port 8001

Issue 4: Frontend Build Fails

Problem: yarn build fails with errors

Solutions:

cd frontend

# Clear cache
rm -rf node_modules/.cache

# Check for syntax errors
npx eslint src/

# Reinstall dependencies
rm -rf node_modules
yarn install

# Try building again
yarn build

Issue 5: "Cannot find module 'aiofiles'"

Problem: Backend fails with import error

Solution:

cd backend
pip install aiofiles
pip freeze > requirements.txt

Issue 6: Data Not Persisting

Problem: User data disappears after restart

Check:

# Verify data directory exists
ls -la backend/data/

# Check file permissions
chmod 755 backend/data/
chmod 644 backend/data/*.json

# View data files
cat backend/data/users.json

Issue 7: Telegram Bot Not Working

Problem: Emergency notifications not sent

Solutions:

1. Verify bot token in backend/.env:

   TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=123456:ABC-DEF...

2. Test bot token:

   curl "https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_BOT_TOKEN>/getMe"

3. Verify Chat ID is correct (send message to @userinfobot)

Issue 8: Port Already in Use

Problem: Backend or frontend port is already in use

Solutions:

# Kill process on port 8001 (backend)
lsof -ti:8001 | xargs kill -9    # macOS/Linux
netstat -ano | findstr :8001     # Windows - note PID, then:
taskkill /PID <PID> /F           # Windows

# Kill process on port 3000 (frontend)
lsof -ti:3000 | xargs kill -9    # macOS/Linux

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging:

# Backend debug mode
cd backend
DEBUG=1 uvicorn server:app --reload --log-level debug

# Frontend debug mode
cd frontend
REACT_APP_DEBUG=true yarn start

# Electron debug mode with DevTools
# DevTools automatically open in development mode
