Getting Started

This page covers the fastest path from download to first useful scan.

1) Download

Get binaries from Releases.

Typical files:

Platform	Binary
Windows x64	eve-flipper-windows-amd64.exe
Linux x64	eve-flipper-linux-amd64
Linux ARM64	eve-flipper-linux-arm64
macOS Intel	eve-flipper-darwin-amd64
macOS Apple Silicon	eve-flipper-darwin-arm64

2) Run

Windows:

.\eve-flipper-windows-amd64.exe

Linux/macOS:

chmod +x eve-flipper-*
./eve-flipper-linux-amd64

By default the app starts on:

http://127.0.0.1:13370

3) First Launch

On first launch EVE Flipper will:

1. create/open flipper.db
2. load local/cache data in data/
3. start backend + embedded web UI

Open http://127.0.0.1:13370 in browser.

4) First Scan (Recommended: Radius)

2. Set System (for example: Jita)
3. Set Cargo m3

5) Choose Your Next Module

• Want same-station trading: Station Trading
• Want cross-region day-trade logic: Regional Trade
• Want multi-hop hauling plans: Route Trading
• Want contract flipping: Contract Scanner
• Want industry planning/jobs: Industry Analysis, Industry Jobs

6) Optional Login (SSO)

Without SSO, core scans still work.

Login unlocks character-aware features:

• skills and fee autofill
• character orders/assets
• structure market access (when character has ACL access)
• corp dashboards/endpoints (with required roles)

DEV BLOCK (WIP): Tauri Desktop Build

Desktop packaging via Tauri is available for development workflows.

Current practical path is Windows-oriented.

Build desktop package:

.\make.ps1 tauri

Run desktop in dev mode:

.\make.ps1 tauri-dev

Notes:

• This flow is considered development-oriented (WIP polish).
• Requires local dev tooling for Tauri (Rust toolchain and platform prerequisites).
• Web build + Go sidecar are prepared automatically by the script.

Troubleshooting

Port already used:

eve-flipper --port 8080

Allow LAN access:

eve-flipper --host 0.0.0.0
