CLI & Build ​

Aephoron doesn't ship a separate command-line tool for identity or credential operations — the "CLI" here is mach, the Servo-heritage build orchestrator used to compile and launch the browser itself.

Build commands ​

Clone the Aephoron repository (see /contact for source access):

bash
git clone <your-aephoron-checkout>
cd aephoron-main

# Development build
./mach build
./mach run aephoron-desktop

# Release build
./mach build --release
./mach run aephoron-desktop --release

Known issue on this pre-release ​

./mach build can finish the actual compile successfully but fail at its own post-build step (BuildNotFound). If that happens, the binary was still built — run it directly:

bash
./target/debug/aephoron-desktop
# or ./target/release/aephoron-desktop for --release builds

Conformance testing ​

bash
./mach test-wpt

Runs the Web Platform Tests suite against the Kinetoor engine.

Configuration rules ​

  • Never commit private keys, API secrets, or production credentials.
  • Use environment variables for local secrets, never shell history.
  • Wallet keys live in the OS secure enclave (Keychain / Credential Guard) — the build tooling never touches them.

See Getting Started for full platform prerequisites, and Web3 & Wallet for the in-browser window.aephoron API that dApps use instead of a CLI.
