carton is the recommended way to build and run browser apps built with SwiftWasm. Follow these steps to get started, where you'll install carton via Homebrew on macOS (unfortunately you'll have to build it manually on Linux). After you already have Homebrew installed, just these three steps will get you up and running:

1. Install carton:

brew install swiftwasm/tap/carton

If you had carton installed before this, make sure you have version 0.9.0 or greater:

carton --version

2. Build the project and start the development server, carton dev can be kept running during development:

carton dev

3. After the build succeeds, a page on a development server will open automatically, or you can navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ in your browser manually to see the app running. You can edit the app source code in your favorite editor and save it, carton will immediately rebuild the app and reload all browser tabs that have the app open.

You can easily deploy SwiftWasm apps to GitHub Pages. This repository is already set up to do so. If you have GitHub Actions enabled, it will push successful builds to the gh-pages branch on every commit. You only need to enable GitHub Pages in settings of your repository and select gh-pages branch as your publishing source.

You can also deploy the app to any other CDN or hosting that can serve static files. Just run carton bundle in the root directory of this repository clone. This will create a Bundle directory that contains everything you need for the app to work. Then copy the contents of that directory to wherever you'd like to host it.
