Banana Code Studio

Banana Code Studio is a desktop GUI for the Banana Code AI coding assistant. It is built with Electron and provides a local app interface for connecting to a Banana Code server, choosing providers/models, managing permissions, and working with AI coding sessions.

Features

• Desktop interface for Banana Code
• Setup flow for server URL and API token
• Provider/model selection for supported AI backends
• Markdown rendering with syntax highlighting
• Permission and operating mode controls
• Linux and Windows packaging through Electron Builder

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or newer
• npm

Install

npm install

macOS Source Installer

To build an unsigned .app from source on macOS, install it into /Applications, and remove the quarantine flag:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Banaxi-Tech/Banana-Code-Studio/main/scripts/install-macos-app.sh | bash

This requires Node.js, npm, and git on the Mac. The script builds for the current Mac architecture, either Apple Silicon (arm64) or Intel (x64).

Run In Development

npm start

On first launch, Banana Code Studio will ask for the Banana Code server URL and API token. If available, it can read the local token from:

~/.config/banana-code/token.json

Build

Build the configured package targets:

npm run build

Build specific targets:

npx electron-builder --linux AppImage deb rpm --x64
npx electron-builder --win nsis --x64
npx electron-builder --mac dir --x64

Generated files are written to dist/.

Packaging Notes

• Linux AppImage and .deb can be built on Linux with the current setup.
• Linux .rpm requires rpmbuild to be installed.
• Windows .exe is built with the NSIS target.
• macOS .app can be produced unsigned from Linux with --mac dir.
• macOS .dmg, .pkg, signing, and notarization require macOS tooling.
