Install and run Lattice

Signed, notarized macOS installers and Homebrew distribution are being prepared. Join the macOS preview for the general-audience release path.

Developer source build

The source build is for contributors and technical evaluators. General users will not need Nix once public installers are available.

The supported development environment uses Nix on macOS or Linux.

git clone https://github.com/willmortimer/lattice.git
cd lattice
nix run .#desktop-dev

This opens the native Tauri app and creates an isolated First Look workspace under the repository’s development state. It does not take over your normal ~/Lattice profile.

To build the release binary without installing an application bundle:

nix run .#desktop-build

For the complete contributor environment, local signing, and troubleshooting, read the Nix workflow guide.

Try the CLI

Inside the development shell:

nix develop
cargo run -p lattice-cli -- --help
