Install

Download a prebuilt installer

Grab the latest installer from the GitHub Releases page:

• Windows — Prompt Library_*_x64-setup.exe (NSIS, ~5 MB)
• macOS — Prompt Library_*_universal.dmg (Universal: Apple silicon + Intel)

The macOS build is unsigned. On first launch, right-click the app and choose Open to bypass Gatekeeper, then confirm.

If no release has been published yet, see "Build from source" below.

Build from source

You need Rust, Node.js 18+, and cargo install tauri-cli.

On macOS, also install Xcode Command Line Tools:

xcode-select --install

On Windows, install Visual Studio Build Tools with the "Desktop development with C++" workload.

Then:

git clone https://github.com/Leonxlnx/prompt-library.git
cd prompt-library
npm install
npm run dev      # run in dev mode
npm run build    # produce a release installer

Installers are generated here:

src-tauri/target/release/bundle/

Typical files:

• Windows: src-tauri/target/release/bundle/nsis/Prompt Library_1.0.0_x64-setup.exe
• macOS: src-tauri/target/release/bundle/dmg/Prompt Library_1.0.0_*.dmg

Cutting a release

Releases are produced by GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/release.yml). To publish a new version:

1. Bump the version in package.json, src-tauri/Cargo.toml, and src-tauri/tauri.conf.json.
2. Commit and push the version bump.
3. Tag and push: git tag v1.0.1 && git push origin v1.0.1.
4. The workflow builds Windows + macOS (universal) installers and opens a draft release. Edit it, add notes, and publish.

You can also trigger the workflow manually from the Actions tab (Run workflow → enter the tag name).

Reinstall or update on Windows

1. Close Prompt Library.
2. Run Prompt Library_<version>_x64-setup.exe
3. Finish the installer.
4. Open Prompt Library again from the Start menu or:

C:\Users\<your-user>\AppData\Local\Prompt Library\prompt-library.exe
