DedoMouse - Wiki

Welcome to the DedoMouse wiki!

Installation

Download the latest version from here.

Installation - Windows

Unzip the archive and start DedoMouse.exe — no further installation needed.

Installation - Linux

The following has been tested with Ubuntu 20.04.

  • There is a known issue with the used UI library. To fix it run: sudo apt install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev
  • Unzip the archive and start DedoMouse: ./DedoMouse
    • Note that the used mouse library has been created for the X Window System (X11). Thus, a desktop environment that uses Wayland might not work.

Installation - MacOS

There is no ready-to-use executable of DedoMouse for MacOS yet.

However, one can download the repository and create an executable manually. The steps to do this are described here.
