• rust (for building the server)

git clone git@github.com:block/goose.git
cd goose/ui/desktop
nvm use
npm install
npm run start

Building notes

This is an electron forge app, using vite and react.js. gooosed runs as multi process binaries on each window/tab similar to chrome.

see package.json:

npm run bundle:default will give you a Goose.app/zip which is signed/notarized but only if you setup the env vars as per forge.config.ts (you can empty out the section on osxSign if you don't want to sign it) - this will have all defaults.

npm run bundle:preconfigured will make a Goose.app/zip signed and notarized, but use the following:

            f"        process.env.GOOSE_PROVIDER__TYPE = '{os.getenv("GOOSE_BUNDLE_TYPE")}';",
            f"        process.env.GOOSE_PROVIDER__HOST = '{os.getenv("GOOSE_BUNDLE_HOST")}';",
            f"        process.env.GOOSE_PROVIDER__MODEL = '{os.getenv("GOOSE_BUNDLE_MODEL")}';"

This allows you to set for example GOOSE_PROVIDER__TYPE to be "databricks" by default if you want (so when people start Goose.app - they will get that out of the box). There is no way to set an api key in that bundling as that would be a terrible idea, so only use providers that can do oauth (like databricks can), otherwise stick to default goose.

Running with goosed server from source

Set VITE_START_EMBEDDED_SERVER=yes to no in .env. Run cargo run -p goose-server from parent dir. npm run start will then run against this. You can try server directly with ./test.sh
