Start screenpipe dev GUI

One-time prerequisites (already done)

All installed:

• Node 24, Bun (%USERPROFILE%\.bun\bin\bun.exe)
• LLVM/Clang (C:\Program Files\LLVM\bin)
• CMake, ffmpeg, 7-Zip (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\7-Zip\7z.exe)
• Fork at: C:/D/oriz/repos/frk/screenpipe (chirag127/screenpipe)

Start dev GUI

$env:LIBCLANG_PATH = "C:\Program Files\LLVM\bin"
$env:Path = "$env:USERPROFILE\.cargo\bin;C:\Users\C5420321\.bun\bin;" + $env:Path
$bun = "C:\Users\C5420321\.bun\bin\bun.exe"
Set-Location C:\D\oriz\repos\frk\screenpipe\apps\screenpipe-app-tauri
& $bun run tauri dev

First run: ~5-10 min (Rust incremental compile). Subsequent: ~30s.

Opens native window with full GUI: Timeline, Search, Chat, Settings, Pipes.

Why dev, not build

bun tauri build blocked by CyberArk EPM (build scripts can’t execute from user dirs). Dev mode works fine.
