## Introduction
Tauri is a framework for building tiny, blazingly fast binaries for all major desktop platforms. Developers can integrate any front-end framework that compiles to HTML, JS and CSS for building their user interface. The backend of the application is a rust-sourced binary with an API that the front-end can interact with.
-The user interface in Tauri apps currently leverages [`tao`](https://docs.rs/tao) as a window handling library on macOS and Windows, and [`gtk`](https://gtk-rs.org/docs/gtk/) on Linux via the **Tauri-team** incubated and maintained [WRY](https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry), which creates a unified interface to the system webview (and other goodies like Menu and Taskbar), leveraging WebKit on macOS, WebView2 on Windows and WebKitGTK on Linux.
+The user interface in Tauri apps currently leverages [`tao`](https://docs.rs/tao) as a window handling library on macOS, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS. To render your application, Tauri uses [WRY](https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry), a library which provides a unified interface to the system webview, leveraging WKWebView on macOS & iOS, WebView2 on Windows, WebKitGTK on Linux and Android System WebView on Android.
To learn more about the details of how all of these pieces fit together, please consult this [ARCHITECTURE.md](https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/dev/ARCHITECTURE.md) document.
-## Get Started
-
-If you are interested in making a tauri app, please visit the [documentation website](https://tauri.app). This README is directed towards those who are interested in contributing to the core library. But if you just want a quick overview about where `tauri` is at in its development, here's a quick burndown:
-
-### Platforms
-
-Tauri currently supports development and distribution on the following platforms:
-
-| Platform | Versions |
-| :----------------------- | :-------------- |
-| Windows | 7 and above |
-| macOS | 10.15 and above |
-| Linux | See below |
-| iOS/iPadOS (coming soon) | |
-| Android (coming soon) | |
-
-**Linux Support**
+## Getting Started
-For **developing** Tauri apps refer to the [Getting Started guide on tauri.app](https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites#setting-up-linux).
+If you are interested in making a tauri app, please visit the [documentation website](https://tauri.app).
-For **running** Tauri apps we support the below configurations (these are automatically added as dependencies for .deb and are bundled for AppImage so that your users don't need to manually install them):
+The quickest way to get started is to install the [prerequisites](https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites) for your system and create a new project with [`create-tauri-app`](https://github.com/tauri-apps/create-tauri-app/#usage). For example with `npm`:
-- Debian (Ubuntu 18.04 and above or equivalent) with the following packages installed:
- - `libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0`, `libgtk-3-0`, `libayatana-appindicator3-1`1
-- Arch with the following packages installed:
- - `webkit2gtk`, `gtk3`, `libayatana-appindicator`1
-- Fedora (latest 2 versions) with the following packages installed:
- - `webkit2gtk3`, `gtk3`, `libappindicator-gtk3`1
-- Void with the following packages installed:
- - `webkit2gtk`, `gtk+3`, `libappindicator`1
+```sh
+npm create tauri-app@latest
+```
-1 `appindicator` is only required if system trays are used

-### Contributing
+## Contributing
Before you start working on something, it's best to check if there is an existing issue first. It's also a good idea to stop by the Discord server and confirm with the team if it makes sense or if someone else is already working on it.

### Documentation
-Documentation in a polyglot system is a tricky proposition. To this end, we prefer to use inline documentation of Rust code and at JSDoc in typescript / javascript code. We autocollect these and publish them using Docusaurus v2 and netlify. Here is the hosting repository for the documentation site: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-docs
-
-### Testing & Linting
+Documentation in a polyglot system is a tricky proposition. To this end, we prefer to use inline documentation in the Rust & JS source code as much as possible. Check out the hosting repository for the documentation site for further information: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-docs
-Test all the things! We have a number of test suites, but are always looking to improve our coverage:
+## Partners
-- Rust (`cargo test`) => sourced via inline `#[cfg(test)]` declarations
-- Typescript (`jest`) => via spec files
-- Smoke Tests (run on merges to latest)
-- eslint, clippy
+
-### CI/CD

-We recommend you read this article to understand better how we run our pipelines: https://www.jacobbolda.com/setting-up-ci-and-cd-for-tauri/
