SMCurser

A tui client for SMServer, written in Rust using the tui-rs framework. This is a rewrite of SMServer_receiver, but using Rust, fixing a lot of issues, and adding a lot of features.

To Build and Install

You can download a fairly up-to-date version of SMCurser from the Releases section of this repository. However, it may not have all the latest features and updates, so I'd recommend building it from source with the following steps:

First, install the official rust toolchain. If you don't know how to do this, visit rustup.rs and follow the instructions there.

Once you've got that completely installed, do the following:

git clone https://github.com/iandwelker/smcurser.git
cd smcurser
git submodule update --init --recursive
cargo build --release

The compiled binary will reside at ./target/release/smcurser

To run

First, get a copy of SMServer and start that running.
Then, if youre on linux or macOS, run:

smcurser --host "<your phone's ip address>"

Or, if you're on Windows, run:

smcurser.exe --host "<your phone's ip address>"
