Solo Trae Desktop Installers

This repository contains native desktop installers for Solo Trae (https://solo.trae.ai) on both Windows and Linux.

The installers are built using a wrapper around the official Electron runtime and bundled with a Go-based self-extracting deployment tool. They provide a seamless native application experience without requiring standard browsers or manual configuration.
