Architecture Overview

Installation Pattern (Used for All 14 Apps)

class ApplicationNameInstaller(ApplicationInstaller):
    CONFIG = ApplicationConfig(
        name="Application Name",
        windows_executable="app.exe",
        required_dlls=['dotnet48', 'd3dx9', ...],
        registry_tweaks={...},
        environment_variables={...},
        required_dependencies=['libssl-dev', ...],
        minimum_ram_gb=8,
        gpu_required=True,
        notes="..."
    )
    
    def install(self, installer_path: str) -> bool:
        # Install system dependencies
        # Install Windows DLLs
        # Configure Windows registry
        # Run installer via Wine
        return success

Extension Guide

To Add More Applications (Easy!)

  1. Create installer class:
class NewAppInstaller(ApplicationInstaller):
    CONFIG = ApplicationConfig(...)
    def install(self, path): ...
  1. Register in ApplicationManager:
APPLICATIONS = {
    'newapp': NewAppInstaller,
    ...
}
  1. Add configuration:
"new_application": {
    "name": "New Application",
    "dlls": [...],
    ...
}
  1. Document in APPLICATION_GUIDES.md

That's it! The CLI automatically supports the new app.

Performance Tips

For Audio Production

  • Use JACK for low-latency audio routing
  • Allocate sufficient RAM for plugin buffering
  • Disable DXVK HUD for maximum performance

For CAD/3D Design

  • Enable DXVK hardware acceleration
  • Use dedicated GPU if available
  • Monitor VRAM usage with nvidia-smi

For Game Engines

  • Use Vulkan renderer for best performance
  • Enable ESYNC/FSYNC for low latency
  • Pre-compile shaders before development
