This is a browser application with a Node.js server, not a desktop or Android installer.
Requires Node.js 22.18 or later (Node 24 recommended), npm and internet access to install the locked dependencies. The browser application is already built.

LOCAL EVALUATION
1. Extract the ZIP into a new folder.
2. Open a terminal in that folder.
3. Run: npm ci --omit=dev
4. Run: npm start
5. Open http://127.0.0.1:4188 and choose Start interactive demo.
6. Stop the server with Ctrl+C when finished.

No shared account or password is included. Opening a demo creates a fictional workspace. Preserve the data folder to keep accounts and stock between starts. Your quick demo belongs to its browser session; create a named test workspace for repeat access.

SERVER INSTALLATION
Read docs/INSTALLATION.md. The default listener is restricted to your computer. The generic Linux systemd and Caddy examples require an administrator to set the hostname, data directory and HTTPS. They do not change DNS or an existing server automatically. Set SANDBOX_ENABLED=0 and provision a new account/database for a real customer installation; never use test inventory as live stock.

The package includes application source, compiled browser assets, locked dependency versions, and backup/restore tools. It contains no customer records, passwords, deployment keys or GHT production configuration. Physical scanner/printer and customer POS integration commissioning is separate. The Docker option is supplied as a template; native Node operation is verified.
