Same error but with

  path matching tesseract-aarch64-apple-darwin not found.
    Error failed to build app: failed to build app

It seems like its expecting tesseract and screenpipe to exist within folders that do not exist.
Is there even a build script to run this locally? or is it only meant to run from github actions?

I've tried copying manuallythe homebrew versions into src-tauri, under the name it expects... and here is the next errors:

ok so looks like using sudo worked here.. but I think it shouldn't really need that?

@DmacMcgreg congrats on building the app

if you send a PR with a traymenu like this:

i'd give you a free app license for you or friend (so you get auto updater, priority support & features)

what do you think?

docs:

https://v2.tauri.app/start/

you probably need to add there https://github.com/louis030195/screen-pipe/blob/main/examples/apps/screenpipe-app-tauri/src-tauri/src/main.rs

probably just a few lines of code!

lmk!
