What's New

• Installer improvements
• A new monkeyhihat.com website
• Check the changelog for more details

Windows Installation

Just download and run install-5-2-0a.exe and answer a few yes/no questions. If you installed a previous version, it will perform an upgrade. If you decide to remove the program, run the installer again and it will prompt to uninstall. The program files and content files are downloaded by the installer (about 135MB total).

Linux Installation

Check the Linux page in the wiki, you must manually install a couple of dependencies (installers can't do this due to Linux security restrictions). Then download install-5-2-0.sh, make it executable (chmod +x install-5-2-0.sh) and run it. Program and content files are downloaded by the install script (about 135MB total).

Related Programs

• Remote-control via the original Monkey Droid app still works (see below for the Windows installer and/or Android package). This is being rewritten from scratch to support new features.

• Windows TCP relay support (which lets you launch the program remotely) is installed by default. It is not enabled unless you request it during installation. More details are in the monkey-see-monkey-do repository. It works best with the Monkey Droid remote-control app. (Linux can do this via systemd units; details/support coming soon, open an Issue if you want it now.)
