Install & build

Make sure you’ve installed everything on the prerequisites page first.

1. Clone the repo and its parser dependency.

   The Rust client depends on a sibling cmtraceopen checkout (a path dependency), so clone both repositories next to each other in the same parent folder:

   git clone https://github.com/adamgell/IntuneCommander
   git clone https://github.com/adamgell/cmtraceopen
   cd IntuneCommander

2. Build the .NET sidecar.

   dotnet build service/Api/Api.csproj

3. Build the Rust client from the workspace root.

   cargo build -p app

Both builds are green

On a clean checkout, both the sidecar and the client compile without changes. The first cargo build pulls and compiles a lot of crates — give it a few minutes.

Why two clones?

app/ references the CMTrace Open parser through a local path that expects cmtraceopen to sit beside IntuneCommander. Keep them as siblings and the workspace build resolves it automatically.
