How the hell do I install this?

[CloverFeywilde]

Trying to run the nwsplit.nw, and for the life of me I can't figure it out.

Could you please explain it better at the very least in your readme?

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04

Well, like the first paragraph in the readme says, it's an nw.js application and prompts you to download nw.js for your platform. You then run it with the nw binary, e.g. nw nwsplit.nw or d'n'd it on nw.exe. I don't know if nw.js is packaged for ubuntu, but there are precompiled binaries or you can install nwjs with npm.

Be warned I never bothered to get global hotkeys natively working on linux, so you have to keep the window active and use local hotkeys or use some other method to split, check the scripting examples for one global hotkey manager for linux.

Really the only reason to not just use the web version on linux in chrome is the unix socket scripting. You can do fancy things like autosplitters with the socket. It should function exactly the same OOTB on chrome.

I npm installed it. I tried at least a thousand different ways to run nw nwsplit.nw and each time it said something about the file wasn't found, even though I was in the correct directory and had the file name spelt correctly. Wondering if this is an issue with the file?

Either way, Global hotkeys were literally the point of this. :/ Without them it's difficult to use the app, as I have to alt+tab out of the game to start/stop/split, giving inaccurate results.

As far as scripting my own hotkeys, I simply don't understand even after looking at the examples, and it looked too difficult for my level of knowledge/ too big of a time investment.

Any help would be appreciated though. But either way thanks for coding this app. Wish I was able to make a little better use of it.

I can't offer more specific help for a system I'm not running, but if you get nw, netcat-openbsd and a hotkey daemon of your choice (or maybe your desktop environment supports custom hotkeys) installed, echo "split()" | nc -q0 -U /tmp/nwsplit.sock e.g. is the command to bind for split. Or you can even ssh to your machine and run it from the terminal.

If the nw command by itself doesn't even get you a shiny logo of nw.js, there's something wrong with the npm package. Did you sudo install it globally? (-g) Or you can try the prebuilt binary from nwjs.io.

All this works on my Arch machine.

Edit: I should add that with the npm package you need to install a specific version of nw binary too, like the readme states. Anyway this local install works for me just fine on Arch:

 ~ » mkdir nwsplit
 ~ » cd nwsplit
 ~/nwsplit » wget http://dregu.github.io/nwsplit/nwsplit.nw
 ~/nwsplit » npm install nwjs
 ~/nwsplit » node_modules/nwjs/nw install 0.22.3
 ~/nwsplit » node_modules/nwjs/nw nwsplit.nw

Edit: I edited the edit.

The prebuilt binary would be wonderful to install, but I literally have not a clue what to do with it when I get the zip file. There's no direction or anything. I'll try later to fiddle with just running nw to see if I get the logo at least.
