Web UI (Flask)

The web UI provides a drag-and-drop builder and a small HTTP API for builds.

Run the web UI:

python build.py

Open http://127.0.0.1:5000/everbuilder in your browser.

Notes:

• When started normally the server will attempt to auto-open your default browser. If you want to suppress that behavior, pass --no-browser.

Windows GUI installer / launcher

A Win32 launcher is available in tools/everbuilder_installer/. It provides a GUI with the following features:

• Install Dependencies.
• Launch Web UI.
• Launch Embedded UI

Build with CMake

The launcher is a small multi-file C project with a CMakeLists.txt in tools/everbuilder_installer/. Build it with CMake on Windows (MSVC):

cd tools\everbuilder_installer
mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release

The built executable will be at tools\everbuilder_installer\build\Release\everbuilder_installer.exe.
