Hovercraft is made for Ubuntu 14.x or later.
You need to have Node 5.10.0 installed before you can run npm install
. (If you have a different version of Node installed while running npm install
, the native modules will not be compatible with the version of electron we use)
Use nvm to easily switch between Node versions.
Additionally, to build node-xtest-bindings (the module that actually fakes mouse clicks), you need to have the xtest library development files installed.
sudo apt-get install libxtst-dev
nvm use 5.10.0
npm i
After waiting quite a while, you can then run hovercraft.
npm start
