System Requirements

• Operating System: Windows 10 or above (x64).
• Database: Local or remote MySQL server instance accessible from your PC.
• Node.js: Not required for using the packaged app.

---

First-Time Setup

1. MySQL Setup

• Ensure you have a running MySQL database (local or remote).
• Create a database and note your user/password.

2. Configure Environment Variables

On first launch, the app will look for an environment file at:

%APPDATA%\taskAI\.env

Example .env:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_USER=your_mysql_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_mysql_password
DB_NAME=taskai_db
# Optional: Change app port or other config

3. (Optional) Custom config.json

For advanced options, place a config.json in the same %APPDATA%\taskAI\ folder.

• See documentation or config-sample.json for supported keys.

Main Features

• Manage complex task flows with AI-powered suggestions.
• Local, secure authentication and data storage via MySQL.
• Extensible via external plugins.
• Automatic data backups (see settings).

---

Troubleshooting

• App won’t start: Check if MySQL is running and .env is present at %APPDATA%\taskAI\.
• Incorrect connection/config: Review .env for typos; logs are in %APPDATA%\taskAI\logs\.
• Updates: Download latest .exe from the releases page.

---

Uninstall

• Use “Add or Remove Programs” in Windows to uninstall.
• To fully remove all local data/settings, delete %APPDATA%\taskAI\.

---

Build & Distribution

You do not need Node.js or npm to use this app! Build scripts, packaging config, and source code details are maintained in the main repository under /release and /app.

• Ignore builder-debug.yml, .blockmap, and other installer files unless you are developing or packaging.
