Docs / Quick start

Quick start

Run Byk from Swift Package Manager, or build and install the signed application bundle.

Run from source

git clone https://github.com/wisent-ai/byk-desktop.git
cd byk-desktop
swift run BykDesktop

Sign in with the email one-time code. The native client verifies the code, stores the session in the login Keychain, and opens the trading assistant with that session.

Build the application bundle

./Scripts/build-app.sh

The script builds and signs Byk.app with a stable Developer ID Application or Apple Development identity, installs it to ~/Applications/Byk.app, and restarts the app. It never uses ad-hoc signing.

Build configuration

Variable	Purpose
`CONFIGURATION`	Select the Swift build configuration.
`WISENT_RELEASE_VERSION`	Set the release version recorded in the app.
`WISENT_BUILD_NUMBER`	Set the application build number.
`WISENT_UPDATE_FEED_URL`	Configure an HTTPS-only Sparkle update feed.
`WISENT_CODESIGN_IDENTITY`	Select the stable signing identity.
`BYK_INSTALL_APP_PATH`	Override the application installation destination.
`BYK_INSTALL_AFTER_BUILD`	Control installation after building.

Byk needs network access for Supabase authentication and the trading web surface. Signed bundles also contact the configured HTTPS update feed when an update check runs.
