Quick Install (Debian Package)

This guide will take you through the steps required to install, configure, and run the LittleBrotherTaskbar application on your system.

Install the Software

LittleBrotherTaskbar will be available as a PIP package.

Configure the Software

In its simplest setting the tool just needs to be started with the URL of the LittleBrother master API, e.g.

run_little_brother_taskbar --server-url=http://[HOSTNAME]:[PORT]

with [HOSTNAME] being the host where the LittleBrother master process is running and [PORT ] being its port.

Extended Command Line Configuration

The tool recognizes the following extra options:

• --username [NAME]: Set the username to [NAME]. If the option is not given the tool will try to derive the login name from the environment variable USER. If no user can be found, the tool will fail.

• --locale [LOCALE]: Set the locale to [LOCALE], e.g. en_US.

• --config [FILENAME]: Read the configuration file [FILENAME]. If this option is not given the tool will try to read the file ~/.config/LittleBrotherTaskbar.conf. See this file for an example.

• --loglevel [LEVEL]: Set the log level to DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, or ERROR.
