MoonZoon Development

1. Required tools

• Rust

  rustup update
  rustc -V # rustc 1.90.0 (1159e78c4 2025-09-14)
  

• cargo-make

  cargo install cargo-make
  makers -V # cargo-make 0.37.24
  

  • Note: cargo-make is needed only for MoonZoon development and running its examples, you don't need it for your apps.

2. VS Code settings

• Install Rust Analyzer
• Uncomment examples as needed in .vscode/settings.json
  • Don't commit the change.
  • Most examples are commented out to reduce compilation time and consumed operating memory.

3. Start example

cd examples
cd chat # or another example from the `examples` directory
makers mzoon start -o # add -r for the release mode

4. Rebuild all examples

# in the root:
makers in_examples clean
makers in_examples mzoon build

5. Have fun!

Note: You can kill a zombie server on Linux with kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:8080)
