Practical overview
When it fits
Use Taho.xyz for the wallet’s project website or, through its public repository, when developing the website or preparing the separate manifesto backend.
Who it is for
- People seeking the Taho wallet’s project website.
- Developers working on the Taho website or its manifesto dapp backend.
Documented uses
- Read about the Taho wallet through its project website.
- Install dependencies and run the website locally.
- Set up local environment configuration for the manifesto dapp backend.
Requirements & limits
The code repository is public and lists an MIT license. Backend setup instructions require Firebase project permissions and access to configuration secrets.
- The website and manifesto backend have separate development workflows.
- The website README documents local startup at
https://localhost:8000and names Netlify as its hosting provider. - The manifesto backend uses Firebase Functions as its API entry points.
- Backend environment setup relies on Firebase project access and secrets.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Start local development of the website
Install the website dependencies and start the local development server.
Before you start
- A local copy of the repository
- Yarn
Steps
Run
yarn install.Run
yarn start.Visit
https://localhost:8000.
Expected outcome
The README directs developers to the site running locally at `https://localhost:8000`.
Guide limitations
- This guide covers local website development, not deployment.
- The README identifies Netlify as the hosting provider but does not include website deployment steps.
Prepare the manifesto backend for local development
Install the Firebase Functions dependencies and prepare local environment configuration.
Before you start
- A local copy of the repository
- Yarn
- Firebase CLI
- Firebase project access for the documented login workflow
- Access to the relevant secrets and values for the
.envfile
Steps
Change directory to
manifesto-dapp-backend/functions/.Run
yarn install.Install the Firebase CLI and run
firebase login.Run
firebase projects:listto check project access.Create a
.envfile based on.env.exampleand supply the required values from 1Password.
Expected outcome
The documented local-development prerequisites and environment configuration for the manifesto backend are prepared.
Guide limitations
- The README says the
.envfile is required only for local development; production variables are stored in secrets. - The repository documentation does not provide a backend execution or local testing procedure in this setup sequence.
