## ARCHITECTURE

OpenFootManager is built using modern web technologies:

- **Rust**: Blazing-fast backend for the Match Simulation Engine and Game State.

- **Tauri**: Lightweight desktop application shell.

- **React + TypeScript + TailwindCSS**: A highly responsive frontend interface.

- **SQLite**: Local persistence for game saves.

2. Install **Node.js** (v18+)

3. Install Tauri dependencies for your specific OS (see the [Tauri Prerequisites Guide](https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/))

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

```bash

cd openfootmanager

npm install

```

Run the development desktop app:

```bash

npm run tauri dev

```
