Installation

Important

Your system needs to use the D-Bus to be able to run this application. This means it is mainly built for Linux based systems, although it may run on macOS too if the D-Bus is installed.

You can install Coral-Chords using cargo or manually.

Cargo installation

Just run the following command to install:

cargo install Coral-Chords

You can now run Coral-Chords from your terminal to launch the application. If you want to have an entry for your system's application launcher, you need to create it yourself or follow the manual installation steps.

Manual installation

Download and extract the latest release and follow those instructions:

Note

You can also build the binary yourself using cargo build --release in the cloned project directory. Building this package yourself requires the development tools of openssl to be installed using your system's package manager

1. Extract the downloaded file
2. Copy the binary file to ./local/bin with the name coral_chords:

cp Coral-Chords ~/.local/bin/coral_chords

3. Copy the .desktop file to `.local/share/applications/coral-chords.desktop:

cp coral-chords.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/coral-chords.desktop

4. Make both files executable:

chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/coral-chords.desktop ~/.local/bin/coral_chords

Now you should be able to launch the application using your system's default application launcher.

Documentation

The code is widely commented with cargo-doc compatible comments for you to either read them as they are or to build the documentation using cargo doc --no-deps. A more general documentation and feature guide is available here.
