Prerequisites

Before installing Claude Board, make sure you have:

Claude Code CLI

Install and authenticate the Claude Code CLI. Run claude --version to verify.

Git

Git must be installed for branch automation and commit tracking. Run git --version to verify.

GitHub CLI (optional)

Install gh and run gh auth login if you want Auto PR creation.

Desktop App

Download the latest release for your platform:

Windows

.exe / .msi installer (x64)

macOS

.dmg — Intel & Apple Silicon

Linux

AppImage & .deb

First Launch

On first launch, the 6-step setup wizard guides you through:
  1. Language selection — English or Turkish
  2. System check — Validates Claude CLI, Node.js, Git, and port availability
  3. Data directory — Where the SQLite database and uploads are stored
  4. MCP server port — Default 4000, auto-checks availability
  5. First project — Creates your initial project with a working directory
The setup wizard runs only once. You can change settings later from the app menu.

Build from Source

Building from source requires both Rust and Node.js toolchains.

Prerequisites

ToolVersionPurpose
RustStableTauri v2 backend
Node.js>= 18.0.0React frontend & build tools
Platform depsLatestTauri v2 prerequisites

Steps

git clone https://github.com/bahri-hirfanoglu/claude-board.git
cd claude-board
npm install
npx tauri dev
npx tauri dev builds the Rust backend, starts the Vite dev server for the React frontend, and opens the app window with hot-reload enabled.

Production Build

To produce a distributable installer:
npx tauri build
The output is written to src-tauri/target/release/bundle/ and includes platform-specific installers.
PlatformOutput
Windows.exe and .msi in bundle/msi/
macOS.dmg in bundle/dmg/
Linux.deb and .AppImage in bundle/deb/ and bundle/appimage/

Verify Installation

After installing, verify everything works:
  1. Launch Claude Board — you should see the setup wizard (first run) or the main board
  2. Open Settings and confirm the MCP server port is active
  3. Create a test project pointing to any code directory
  4. Create a simple task (e.g., “List all files in the project root”) and move to In Progress
  5. Watch the live terminal — you should see Claude’s output streaming in real-time
