- Download the
Health-Suite-<version>-arm64.dmg(Apple Silicon) orHealth-Suite-<version>-x64.dmg(Intel) build. - Open the DMG, drag Health Suite to Applications.
- First launch: right-click the app → Open to bypass macOS Gatekeeper (required for ad-hoc-signed apps without Apple notarisation — see
PROJ-TODO-02). Subsequent launches work normally.
All data is stored locally in the OS app-data directory (see architecture.md). Uninstall by deleting the app and, optionally, that directory.
Requirements: PHP 8.5, Composer, Node.js, pnpm, Laravel Herd (or any local server pointing to public/).
git clone <repo> health-suite && cd health-suite
composer install
pnpm install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate
# Optional: seed a demo account
php artisan db:seed
pnpm run buildBrowse to the local Herd domain and register. The onboarding wizard runs automatically on first login.
composer test
# or
./vendor/bin/pest./vendor/bin/pintphp artisan native:build macOutput lands in nativephp/electron/dist/. Builds both arm64 (Apple Silicon) and x64 (Intel) DMGs and ZIPs.
PHP binary note: see
architecture.mdfor the PHP 8.5 development / 8.4 bundled-binary workaround.
When building without official Apple code signing, macOS Gatekeeper prevents the application from running. To bypass this for development after installing the .app bundle:
xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Health\ Suite.app
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Health\ Suite.appAfter seeding (php artisan db:seed), a demo account is created with a full male profile, 30 days of health records (gradual weight-loss trend), and 3 meals per day, so the dashboard charts and history table render immediately. See database/seeders/DatabaseSeeder.php for the exact credentials.
