📦 Installation

macOS

• Download DevBench-1.0.0.dmg (Intel) or DevBench-1.0.0-arm64.dmg (Apple Silicon)
• Note: Since the app is not code-signed, you'll need to allow Gatekeeper:
  • Right-click on DevBench in Applications and select "Open"
  • Click "Open" in the security dialog

Windows

• Download DevBench Setup 1.0.0.exe for installation
• Or DevBench 1.0.0.exe for portable version

Linux

• AppImage: DevBench-1.0.0.AppImage (x64) or DevBench-1.0.0-arm64.AppImage
• Debian/Ubuntu: devbench-desktop_1.0.0_amd64.deb or devbench-desktop_1.0.0_arm64.deb

🔧 Setup Requirements

• Git: Required for data synchronization
• Node.js: Not required (bundled with the application)

📝 Known Issues

• Native module rebuilding may fail on some systems (build process skips this by default)
• Some TypeScript type errors may appear but don't affect functionality
• macOS builds are not code-signed (Gatekeeper bypass required)
