What are the steps to build a desktop app with Bun.js and Chromium

Prerequisites

Steps

1. Clone the Bun.js desktop app project:

bash
git clone https://github.com/Bunland/webapp.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

bash
cd webapp

3. Install dependencies:

bash
cd myapp
bun install

4. Run the app in development mode:

bash
cd ..
bun run dev

5. Build the final app:

bash
bun run build

This will use Golang to package your application. It will create a folder called `webapp_1.0.0` and a file `webapp_1.0.0.deb` which you can use to install the app.

6. Optionally, you can modify the app name and information in the `build-linux.sh` file. To change the icons, go to the `icons` folder and replace them with your preferred ones.

The project is based on Lorca which in turn uses Carlo.js. You can find more information about Lorca here: https://github.com/zserge/lorca

In summary, you use Bun for development and bundling, and Golang for the final packaging step to create a distributable app. The resulting app will run on Chromium-based browsers.
