Installation

Replicator Redux is a Tauri application: a small Rust binary with a webview front end. There is no runtime to install and no installer that phones anywhere.

Download a build

Grab the latest build from the releases page. CI builds every tag on native runners, so each platform gets a real native binary:

The macOS and Windows builds are not code-signed, so the OS will warn you the first time. On macOS, right-click the app and choose Open to get the "open anyway" prompt; on Windows, choose More info and then Run anyway on the SmartScreen dialog.

Build from source

You need a Rust toolchain, Node, and pnpm. On Linux you also need the webkit2gtk and GTK development headers. The repository ships a Nix flake that provides all of it.

git clone https://github.com/isomerc/replicator-redux
cd replicator-redux

# with nix + direnv
direnv allow

pnpm install
pnpm tauri build

The bundles land in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/.

To run it against a dev server instead:

pnpm tauri dev

First run

On launch it scans for EVE installs and lists every character it finds. The toolbar tells you how many installs were detected.

If it found your install, you are done. Go to Usage.

If it found nothing, open Settings and set the install path by hand. Point it at your EVE settings folder, the directory containing core_char_*.dat and core_user_*.dat files, or a directory containing the settings_* folders. It validates the choice and refuses anything that has no core_*.dat files in it, so you will know immediately if you picked the wrong folder.

Character names

Characters are stored on disk by numeric id, not by name. On first load the app sends those ids to the public ESI endpoint to resolve them into names. This needs no login and no API key.

If you are offline, or ESI is down (which, being EVE, happens), the characters still list and copy correctly, just by id instead of by name.

Next: Usage.
