The next-gen webOS and development environment with full linux emulation

An entirely local browser "OS" and development environment with complete graphical linux emulation, visually based on chromiumOS. See a demo here, fully in your browser.

Anura uses the features of a progressive-web-app to make its environment work fully offline, providing a virtual filesystem (synced with the linux emulator), a code editor, and a modular and extensible app system. You can even edit Anura's code live while inside of it!

Anura shows as more of a proof-of-concept with what's possible on the modern web rather than an actual product. However, it proves useful in many actual cases and is a useful educational tool.

• Run linux GUI apps from a terminal

• Run bash codespace-basic-setup.sh

NOTE: If you are not in a codespace skip to the regular installation steps.

NOTE: This does NOT build RootFS.

• Make sure you have rustup and run the command: rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
• You also need to have a C compiler, inotifytools and a decent version of java installed
• Clone the repository with git clone --recursive
• Then, make all

• NOTE: You can use make all -B instead if you want to force a full build.

• Make sure you have Docker installed and running.
• Run make rootfs
• Make sure to add yourself to the Docker group using usermod -a -G docker $USER
• (Special Use Case) In the event that you should need to override/manually add the initrd and kernel, remember to keep track of the file names of initrd and vmlinuz in build/images/(rootfs)-boot/. Then, copy them to the Anura root directory and rename them to initrd.img and bzimage respectively.(See the extended instructions here.)

You can run anura with the command

make server

Or, run authenticated with

cd server
npm start -- --auth

NOTE: Anura uses recent web technologies, and is unstable in Gecko. Chromium is strongly recommended as it has seen the best results.

• If you started the server, Anura should be running at localhost:8000.

AnuraOS is created by Mercury Workshop. Linux emulation is based off of the v86 project
