Build from source

You need a Mac with Xcode 16 or later and an iPhone with iOS 17 or later. There are no third-party Swift packages.

git clone https://github.com/seesaw-earth/RodentLimb.git
cd RodentLimb
python3 Tools/install_model.py --v2 /path/to/CylinderMousePoseV2.mlpackage.zip
open RodentLimb.xcodeproj

In Xcode, choose your signing team and run on an iPhone. The model weights are not in the repository; see MODEL_PROVENANCE.md.

Build this manual

npm install
npm run docs:dev     # live preview at http://localhost:5173/RodentLimb/
npm run docs:build   # static site in docs/.vitepress/dist

Pushing changes under docs/ to main publishes the site through GitHub Actions.
