Thanks for downloading the Linux version of Remote Mouse.

Before you get started,


please note that this is a BETA version and supports only the trackpad and keyboard
functions.

This version has been tested and runs well on Ubuntu 14-18. You may try to run it
on other Linux distribution, such as Debian, Raspbian…
If there is any problem you would like to let me know, contact me at
support@remotemouse.net. Your feedback is welcome.

##################### INSTALL #####################

Open Terminal and enter the below commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y mono-complete xdotool libappindicator0.1-cil-dev

If you are running it in Ubuntu 18, you may need the following command in
addtioanl:

sudo apt-get install -y libcanberra-gtk-module

For Raspbian user, please check the Raspbian section at the bottom.

####################### RUN #######################

If the above commands run without error, you can launch Remote Mouse from file
manager or entering the below command in Terminal, and replace <PATH> with the real
path of RemoteMouse.exe.

mono <PATH>RemoteMouse.exe

For example, if you unzipped Remote Mouse to the desktop, you can run Remote Mouse
with this command:

mono ~/Desktop/RemoteMouse.exe

Now the Remote Mouse icon should appear on the top right corner.

In order to start Remote Mouse automatically on boot, you can open the Dash, search
and open "Startup Applications". Click "Add" and enter the below content in the
command area,
make sure to replace the <PATH> to absolute path.

mono <PATH>RemoteMouse.exe

####################### Raspbian User #######################

The "libappindicator0.1-cil-dev" may not be installed on Raspbian for some reasons.


Here's the solution:

1. Install the following libraries with the following commands:

sudo apt-get install -y mono-complete xdotool


sudo apt-get install -y libappindicator1 libgtk2.0-cil
2. Download "libappindicator0.1-cil" and "libappindicator0.1-cil-dev" from the
following links:

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/all/libappindicator0.1-cil/download
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/all/libappindicator0.1-cil-dev/download

3. Install above packages with the following commands:

sudo dpkg -i libappindicator0.1-cil_0.4.92-3.1_all.deb


sudo dpkg -i libappindicator0.1-cil-dev_0.4.92-3.1_all.deb

If everything goes well, Remote Mouse can work now. If you have better solution,
please let me know.
