Wirecraft is a free, open-source designer for event-driven and dataflow software. Place processors, data types and typed links on a canvas, group them into composites, and let 45-degree routing keep large topologies readable. Every link is a typed buffer, every processor a function, and service libraries are lent to the processors that use them. From the same design Wirecraft generates complete programs in C17, Rust, Go, Kotlin, JavaScript (Node.js) and PHP. Write each processor's body in an editor that pins the generated function header above your code, so you always see the parameters the generator will pass. With clang, clangd or rust-analyzer installed, you get completion, hover documentation, semantic colors, go-to-definition, find references and compiler diagnostics mapped back to the entity and line you wrote. Publish parts of a design as reusable components with typed ports, and reference them from other designs, pinned by content hash so updates are deliberate. Start new work from a library of archetypes, and inspect a design with network analysis of its data, error and dependency flows. Around the design you also get project management (a Kanban board and backlog with status, responsibility and revision history), plan and documentation export to PDF, SVG, PNG and Mermaid for printing and sharing, and an optional local MCP server so compatible AI agents can read and edit the design through documented tools. Wirecraft opens Threadworks .orch projects and preserves their data. No account is required and core design works offline. The application interface is in English. Wirecraft is under active development. ### Package name * wirecraft --- ### License * Apache-2.0 OR MIT --- ### Last updated * Today - latest/stable * Today - latest/candidate --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/wirecraft/rhel#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and install wirecraft Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward. The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below. The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command: ``` sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm ``` Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended: ``` sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms" sudo yum update ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install wirecraft To install wirecraft, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install wirecraft ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
