🐧 Running the AppImage on Linux / WSL2 (Ubuntu)

First install the required system libraries (one-time setup):

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y \
  libnss3 libatk1.0-0 libatk-bridge2.0-0 libcups2 \
  libdrm2 libxkbcommon0 libxcomposite1 libxdamage1 \
  libxrandr2 libgbm1 libasound2

Then run the AppImage:

chmod +x "Chahuadev-Framework.AppImage"
DISPLAY=:0 WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 \
  ./"Chahuadev-Framework.AppImage" \
  --appimage-extract-and-run --no-sandbox --disable-gpu

WSL2 tip: Copy the AppImage to the WSL native filesystem first for best performance:

# Path after: npm install -g @chahuadev/framework
# (no sudo)
cp ~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/@chahuadev/framework/bin/Chahuadev-Framework.AppImage /tmp/ChahuadevFramework.AppImage
# (with sudo)
# cp /usr/lib/node_modules/@chahuadev/framework/bin/Chahuadev-Framework.AppImage /tmp/ChahuadevFramework.AppImage
chmod +x /tmp/ChahuadevFramework.AppImage
DISPLAY=:0 WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 /tmp/ChahuadevFramework.AppImage \
  --appimage-extract-and-run --no-sandbox --disable-gpu

Authentication System

Demo Users (Offline Mode)

Username: admin      | Password: demo123 | Role: Administrator | Permissions: read, write, admin
Username: developer  | Password: demo123 | Role: Developer     | Permissions: read, write
Username: user       | Password: demo123 | Role: User          | Permissions: read

Token Storage

Location: ~/.chahuadev/auth.json
Expiration: 24 hours

Permission Levels

read - View data, list plugins
write - Run commands, execute npm
admin - System configuration, auth checks

Security Features

Fort-Knox Level Security

Anti-debugging protection
Tamper detection system
Runtime integrity checks
DevTools protection
Supply chain security verification

Authentication Security

Account lockout (5 attempts, 5-minute timeout)
Token expiration checking
Permission-based access control
Command-level authentication checks

Command Security

IPC command sanitization
Dangerous pattern detection
Whitelist-based execution
Plugin signature verification

Logging System

Text-based Logging Tags

Instead of emoji, the system now uses text-based tags:

[SUCCESS]   - Operation successful
[ERROR]     - Error occurred
[FAILED]    - Operation failed
[DENIED]    - Access denied
[LOCKED]    - Account/resource locked
[UNLOCKED]  - Account/resource unlocked
[EXPIRED]   - Token expired
[AUTH]      - Authentication operation
[PERMISSION] - Permission check
[GATEWAY]   - Gateway operation
[ADMIN]     - Administrator action
[DEV]       - Developer action
[USER]      - User action

SVG Icons System

40+ SVG icons available in modules/svg-icons.js:

Security & Auth Icons

lock, unlock, shield, checkCircle, alertCircle, xCircle
userCheck, userX, user, users

System Icons

zap, settings, loader, refresh, eye, eyeOff
check, x, alertTriangle, info, bell, clock

Usage

const SVGIcons = require('./modules/svg-icons.js');

// Get SVG string
const svg = SVGIcons.getSVG('lock', 'icon-small');

// Create DOM element
const elem = SVGIcons.createSVGElement('user', 'user-icon');
