Desktop app

The Web Studio is also available as a desktop app, built with Electron. It is the same application as the one at codecharta.com and works offline. To create maps you still need the CodeCharta Shell.

Download a release

Every visualization release on GitHub (tags starting with vis-) lists one zip file per platform under Assets:

Platform	x64	arm64
Windows	codecharta-visualization-win32-x64.zip	codecharta-visualization-win32-arm64.zip
macOS	codecharta-visualization-darwin-x64.zip	codecharta-visualization-darwin-arm64.zip
Linux	codecharta-visualization-linux-x64.zip	codecharta-visualization-linux-arm64.zip

Download the file for your system, extract it and start the app:

• Windows: run codecharta-visualization.exe.
• macOS: open codecharta-visualization.app.
• Linux: run ./codecharta-visualization.

macOS

The app is not signed, so macOS may refuse to open it or call it damaged. Remove the download flag and open it again:

xattr -cr codecharta-visualization.app/

The release also contains web.zip, the Web Studio as static files you can serve from any web server.

Install with npm

The desktop app is also published on npm as codecharta-visualization:

npm i -g codecharta-visualization
codecharta-visualization

Open a map

Load a .cc.json or .cc.json.gz file with the folder button (Load cc.json files) in the top bar. See Loading maps.
