macOS users should run EXDA through the browser-first launcher:
chmod +x ./Run-EXDA-MAC.command
./Run-EXDA-MAC.commandYou can also double-click Run-EXDA-MAC.command in Finder.
The launcher checks for:
nodenpmpython3orpython- installed npm dependencies
- installed Python packages from
backend/requirements.txt
If anything is missing, the launcher prints the missing items and stops gracefully.
For the full launcher-first workflow, see RUN_EXDA.md.
If you intentionally need a packaged desktop artifact instead, see PACKAGING.md.
