Tauri allows your app to be packaged as a .deb (Debian package) file.

Bootstrapper#

Instead of launching the app directly, you can configure the bundled app to run a script that tries to expose the environment variables to the app; without that you’ll have trouble using system programs because the PATH environment variable isn’t correct. Enable it with the useBootstrapper config.

Custom files#

To include custom files to the debian package, you can configure a mapping on tauri.conf.json > tauri > bundle > deb > files as follows:

{   "tauri": {     "bundle": {       "deb": {         "files": {           "/usr/lib/README.md": "../README.md", // copies the README.md file to /usr/lib/README.md           "usr/lib/assets": "../public/" // copies the entire public directory to /usr/lib/assets         }       }     }   } }
