Installation

First you have to install the LinConnect server on your Linux desktop. You will need the following packages installed: python2, python-pip, python-gobject, libavahi-compat-libdnssd1, cherrypy (python package), pybonjour (python package).

If these are installed run this command in Terminal:

wget --quiet https://raw.github.com/hauckwill/linconnect-server/master/LinConnectServer/install.sh; \
chmod +x install.sh; \
./install.sh

Done. Now you need to have the client on your Android device.
