Installation

For now the easiest and most reliable way to install this is to build it from source. To do that, please see the Getting started section below.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can download the latest deb release and give that a try, but there are known issues with it. NOTE: The deb package that is made as part of the release might not working as intended. I'm working on fixing this. And if you know how to package for Debian and Ubuntu, feel free to help out. See #12 for details

Getting started

Install the following dependencies

Git, QT 6, cmake and a c++ compiler, for example:

On Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distros

sudo apt install git qt6-tools-dev qt6-tools-dev-tools g++ clang cmake davfs2

On Fedora

sudo dnf -y git g++ clang cmake install qt6-qtbase-devel qt6-qttools-devel qt6-qtbase-private-devel davfs2

On Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S git clang cmake qt6-base qt6-tools

# For davfs2 we need to use the AUR
yay -S davfs2

Clone the repo
cd into the repo cd tail-tray
Make a build directory mkdir build
cd into the build directory cd build
Run cmake ../
Run make
Run sudo make install
It will now be installed to /usr/local/bin/tail-tray and can be started by running tail-tray in a terminal or by clicking the Tail Tray icon in the launcher.
