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

![Solo on Linux](https://coreva-normal.trae.ai/api/ide/v1/text_to_image?prompt=A%20sexy%20modern%20Linux%20desktop%20setup%20running%20a%20sleek%20AI%20code%20editor%20application%20in%20dark%20mode%2C%20floating%20windows%2C%20minimalist%20design%2C%20neon%20purple%20and%20green%20accents%2C%20photorealistic%2C%208k&image_size=landscape_16_9)

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.
