Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The project README warns that Edit4I is not suitable for production.
  • AI integration and basic context management are marked in progress; autonomous agents and other advanced capabilities are roadmap items.
  • The documented stack is Svelte, Monaco and Tree-sitter on the frontend, with Go and Wails for backend and desktop integration.
  • The repository lists Linux, macOS and Windows build targets, but does not state supported operating systems as an end-user compatibility guarantee.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

  • Wails 2.9.2 or later
  • Docker is optional, but Docker builds are described as temporarily broken.

Steps

  1. Clone the Edit4I repository and change into the project directory.

  2. Run the command below to install dependencies.

    Documented command
    make deps

  3. Run the command below for development mode with hot reload, or the command below for a development build.

    Documented command
    make dev
    Documented command
    make build-dev

Expected outcome

The documented local development workflow prepares dependencies and provides a hot-reload development mode or development build.

Guide limitations
