Important

  • Have a look at the required Dependencies first. The app will not work otherwise.
  • Also keep in mind that Flutter for Linux desktop is still in beta, therefore the user experience might not be perfect

Option 1 (easy)

  • Click here and choose the latest release.
  • Pick the MM-Remote_linux.zip file and download ⬇️ it. Once the file is downloaded to your pc, you can put it to a location of your choice and unzip it.
  • The app depends on some external libraries. These can be installed by opening the terminal and executing: sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-0 libblkid1 liblzma5
  • To start the desktop app simply double click the mm_remote file.

Option 2 (compile the desktop-app by yourself)

  • First you need to clone this repository with Git.
  • The app is written in Dart with the help of googles Flutter framework. To compile the app you need to set up Flutter if you haven't done so already. If you have never used Flutter before, there is a good installation guide and documentation available.
  • After Flutter is set up, run flutter build linux in your project root-directory
  • The files you need to start the application can then be found at MM-Remote/build/linux/mm_remote/bundle/.

Next Steps

  • Have a look at getting started to find additional information on how to setup the app correctly.
