Quick Start

Downloads are on the Releases page.

Download the latest release archive for your platform from the Releases page, extract it, and run the app.

macOS

• Extract the universal .tar.gz and open ProjectRover-macos-universal.dmg.

• Drag the Project Rover icon to the Applications folder.

• Run ProjectRover.app from the Applications folder. You may need to bypass Gatekeeper on first launch:

  xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ProjectRover.app
  open /Applications/ProjectRover.app

*macOS: main window and code view.*

Windows

• Extract and run ProjectRover.exe.

*Windows: assembly tree and context menus.*

Linux

• Extract and run the ProjectRover binary. Example:

  mkdir ProjectRover && tar -xzpf ProjectRover-linux-x64.tar.gz -C ProjectRover
  chmod +x ProjectRover/ProjectRover
  ./ProjectRover/ProjectRover

*Linux: decompiled code.*

Build from source

.NET 10 SDK is required. Then run:

git clone https://github.com/LeXtudio/ProjectRover.git
cd ProjectRover
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd src/ProjectRover
dotnet run

Before reporting any issues

Please read TROUBLESHOOTING.md for step-by-step instructions for shipped users and other debugging tips.

Layout

• src/ProjectRover – Avalonia application, shims for view models and other supporting files.
• thirdparty/AvaloniaEdit – bundled text editor control.
• src/ILSpy - Original ILSpy source code, mostly unmodified.

Status

• Active development, not production ready. Expect bugs and missing features.
• Current focus is on code reuse and keeping up with ILSpy.
