The [`package.json`](package.json) file lets you define your apps metadata, e.g.
app name, main entry, description and version.

The [`src/`](./src/) directory is the heart of your app! You can replace the contents of this directory with your own code.
- `index.ts` is your UI to end customer with Web runtime. This one should be thin as lightweight. Any specific/ compute-intensive workload should be executed asynchronously in registered functions in `module.ts`.
- `module.ts` is your Node runtime in which functions get executed.
- `index.ts` and `module.ts` interact with each other via RPC (See [Information flow](./app-anatomy.md#information-flow))
- `index.ts` is your app's mainentrypoint. You can access the Web runtime and define UI in this file.
- `module.ts` is your Node runtime in which functions get executed. You should define core logic and compute-intensive workloads in this file.
- `index.ts` and `module.ts` interact with each other via RPC (See [Information flow](./app-anatomy.md#information-flow)) via [`invokePluginFunc`](../reference/01_init.md#invokepluginfunc)

Think of this as your "app frontend". You register events, custom functions here.
Most Jan App functions are processed asynchronously.
In `index.ts`, you will see that the extension function will return a `Promise<any>`.

## App installation
![Manual installation](img/build-app-1.png)
- `Select` the built `*.tar.gz` file
- The App will reload after new app get installed
- Jan will reload after new apps get installed
