Build it yourself

Build Requirements

• Around 10 GB of disk space required
• Rust with cargo

Debian based

sudo apt install cmake cargo pkg-config libssl-dev libfontconfig1-dev libclang-dev openssl clang build-essential git libudev-dev

Arch

cargo alsa-lib fontconfig clang rocksdb
sudo pacman -S cargo alsa-lib fontconfig git

Building

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/arne-fuchs/edcas-client.git

cd into it and build it

cd edcas-client && cargo build

Standard directories

Edcas will first look into some standard directories before falling back into the current directory. It might try to copy the files to the desired places.

File	Look-up	Fallback
settings-example.json	/etc/edcas-client/settigns-example.json	./settings-example.json
settings.json	$HOME/.config/edcas-client/settings.json	./settings.json
Assets like materials.json	/usr/share/edcas-client/	./
logs	/tmp/edcas-client/	./logs/

Using it with min-ed-launcher

Go and first build the project with

cargo build

Then edit your min-ed-launcher config:

nano ~/.config/min-ed-launcher/settings.json

and add this to your processes:

"processes": [
        {
          "fileName": "/PATHTOEDCAS/edcas-client",
          "arguments": ""
        }
    ],

If you installed edcas-client over a package, you can find the binary in /usr/bin/edcas-client.
