Setup instructions for Windows

Open tomrow opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

The only instructions are for Linux, and I can't use it. Can you put setup instructions for Windows PCs in the readme?

Hi @tomrow, installation should be a similar process to Linux, i.e. clone/download repository, run npm install and start the server with node. I don't develop on Windows though so the specifics of using git and node in such an environment are a mystery to me I'm afraid.

The main problem you will have is the driver. There's a single driver in server/drivers/, which is for the program xdotool on Linux. For Windows, you will probably have to find an alternative program and write a driver to run that program. The drivers can be pretty simple - the only requirement is that they match the interface from xdotool driver - they need onButtonPress and onButtonRelease functions. Inside these functions is where you would call out to your alternative program.

Hope this helps.
