*✨ I built this using **SOLO 3 web edition** ✨*
### Code Mode
![Solo in Code Mode](assets/windows-screenshot.png)
This repository contains native installers for **Solo Trae** (https://solo.trae.ai) on **Windows**, **Linux**, and **Android**.
### Work Mode

The desktop installers are built using a wrapper around the official Electron runtime and bundled with a Go-based self-extracting deployment tool. The Android APK is powered by Capacitor. They provide a seamless native application experience without requiring standard browsers or manual configuration.
## Files Provided
### 1. `SoloInstaller.exe` (Windows)
A completely silent, self-extracting native installer for Windows (x64).
- **How to Use:** Download and double-click `SoloInstaller.exe`.
- **What it Does:**
- Extracts the pre-configured Electron app silently to your `%APPDATA%\SoloApp` directory.
- Automatically creates a desktop shortcut (`Solo.lnk`).
- Immediately launches the Solo application.
### 2. `SoloInstaller-Linux` (Linux)
A native executable installer for Linux (x64).
- **How to Use:**
1. Download the file.
2. Make it executable: `chmod +x SoloInstaller-Linux`
3. Run it: `./SoloInstaller-Linux`
- **What it Does:**

- Launches the Solo application.
### 3. `SoloInstaller.apk` (Android)
A native Capacitor-based web wrapper application for Android devices.

1. Transfer the file to your Android device.
2. Ensure "Install from Unknown Sources" is enabled in your device settings.
3. Tap the file to install it.
- **What it Does:**

- Automatically loads the full web interface full-screen using the system WebView.
## Development Details
- **Runtime:** Electron v41.1.1 (Desktop) / Capacitor (Android)
- **Packaging:** Bundled using Go `embed` to bypass traditional deployment toolchain limitations for desktop.
- **Silent Mode:** Installers execute completely in the background without requiring user interaction (No Next/Finish wizards).
