# PineAgents packaging scripts > ⚠️ **Legacy (rollback-only).** These conda-pack based packaging scripts have > been superseded by the **Tauri** desktop build (see `console/src-tauri/` and > `scripts/pack-tauri/`). They are kept only for short-term rollback and are no > longer used by the release pipeline. For the current desktop app, refer to the > [Desktop Application Guide](https://qwenpaw.agentscope.io/docs/desktop). One-click build: each script first builds a **wheel** via `scripts/wheel_build.sh` (includes the console frontend), then uses a **temporary conda environment** and **conda-pack** (no current dev env). Dependencies follow `pyproject.toml`. - **Windows**: wheel → conda-pack → unpack → NSIS installer (`.exe`) - **macOS**: wheel → conda-pack → unpack into `.app` → optional zip ## System Requirements - **Windows**: Windows 10 or later - **macOS**: macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) recommended ## Prerequisites - **conda** (Miniconda/Anaconda) on PATH - **Node.js / npm** (for the console frontend) - (Windows only) **NSIS**: `makensis` on PATH - **Icons**: Pre-generated `icon.ico` (Windows) and `icon.icns` (macOS) are included in `scripts/pack/assets/` ## One-click build From the **repo root**: **macOS** ```bash bash ./scripts/pack/build_macos.sh # Output: dist/QwenPaw.app CREATE_ZIP=1 bash ./scripts/pack/build_macos.sh # also create .zip ``` **Windows (PowerShell)** ```powershell ./scripts/pack/build_win.ps1 # Output: dist/QwenPaw-Setup-.exe # Creates two launchers: # - PineAgents.vbs (silent, no console window) # - PineAgents (Debug).bat (shows console for troubleshooting) # Note: Pre-compiles all Python files to .pyc for faster startup ``` ## Run from terminal and see logs (macOS) If the .app crashes on double-click, run it from Terminal to see the full error and logs: ```bash # From repo root; force packed env only (no system conda / PYTHONPATH). Adjust path if needed. APP_ENV="$(pwd)/dist/QwenPaw.app/Contents/Resources/env" PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1 PYTHONPATH= PYTHONHOME="$APP_ENV" "$APP_ENV/bin/python" -m pineagents desktop ``` The `PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1` prevents Python from loading packages from `~/.local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages`, which can conflict with the packaged environment. All stdout/stderr (including Python tracebacks) will appear in the terminal. Use this to debug startup errors or to run with `--log-level debug`. When you **double-click** the .app and nothing appears, the launcher writes stderr/stdout to `~/.qwenpaw/desktop.log`. Inspect that file for errors. On first launch macOS may ask for “Desktop” or “Files and Folders” access: click **Allow** so the app can run properly; if you click Don’t Allow, the window may close. ## macOS: if “Apple cannot verify” / Gatekeeper blocks the app When users download the QwenPaw macOS app (e.g. from Releases) as a `.app` (in a zip), macOS may show: *"Apple cannot verify that 'QwenPaw' contains no malicious software"*. The app is not notarized. They can still open it as follows: - **Right-click to open (recommended)** Right-click (or Control+click) the QwenPaw app → **Open** → in the dialog click **Open** again. Gatekeeper will allow it; after that double-click works as usual. - **Allow in System Settings** If still blocked, go to **System Settings → Privacy & Security**, find the message like *"QwenPaw was blocked because it is from an unidentified developer"*, and click **Open Anyway** or **Allow**. - **Remove quarantine attribute (not recommended for most users)** In Terminal: `xattr -cr /Applications/QwenPaw.app` (or the path to the `.app` after unzipping). This clears the download quarantine flag; less safe than right-click → Open. ## CI `.github/workflows/desktop-release.yml`: - **Triggers**: Release publish or manual workflow_dispatch - **Windows**: Build console → temporary conda env + conda-pack → NSIS → upload artifact - **macOS**: Build console → temporary conda env + conda-pack → .app → zip → upload artifact - **Release**: When triggered by a release, uploads the Windows installer and macOS zip as release assets ## Script reference | File | Description | |------|-------------| | `build_common.py` | Create temporary conda env, install `qwenpaw[full]` from a wheel, conda-pack; produces archive. | | `build_macos.sh` | One-click: build wheel → build_common → unpack into QwenPaw.app; optional zip. | | `build_win.ps1` | One-click: build wheel → build_common → unpack → create VBS/BAT launchers → makensis installer. | | `desktop.nsi` | NSIS script: pack `dist/win-unpacked`, add icons, and create shortcuts. | | `assets/icon.ico` | Pre-generated Windows icon (installer and shortcuts). | | `assets/icon.icns` | Pre-generated macOS icon (app bundle). |
