Quick Start

The shortest path from download to your first query

Users: from download to your first query

Download the build for your platform from GitHub Releases and launch GoNavi.
Confirm the current version from the homepage or download page, then create a connection in the client.
Choose the database type and fill in host, port, authentication, and optional SSH / proxy settings.
Save the connection, open the query workspace, and run your first SQL statement or browse the object tree.

Recommended Path

Solo developers: start with a local or staging database first.
Teams: align naming, export, and review conventions early.

Developers: build from source

Local dev environment

Prerequisites: Go 1.21+, Node.js 18+, Wails CLI.

go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@v2.11.0

git clone https://github.com/Syngnat/GoNavi.git
cd GoNavi

wails dev                          # full hot reload
node tools/wails-fast-dev.mjs      # faster when Go exports are unchanged

Build artifacts:

wails build              # artifacts in build/bin
wails build -clean       # recommended before release

Next Steps
