What is AnuraOS?

An entirely local browser “OS” and development environment with complete graphical linux emulation, visually based on chromiumOS. See a demo here, fully in your browser.

Anura uses the features of a progressive web app to make its environment work fully offline, providing a virtual filesystem (synced with the linux emulator), a code editor, and a modular and extensible app system. You can even edit Anura’s code live while inside of it!

Anura shows as more of a proof-of-concept with what’s possible on the modern web rather than an actual product. However, it proves useful in many actual cases and is a useful educational tool.

Development

Easy Install for GitHub Codespaces
