CiaServer

This is a small helper script which allows you to install CIA files via FBI over your local network.

Note to windows users

To use this tool you need Python3 to be installed. Make sure you check Add to path setting. If you do not want to add python to PATH you need to change PYTHON_PATH variable in install_windows_context_menu.cmd to correct location.

Installation

To run this script couple of additional python modules need to be installed:

pip install qrcode --user
pip install pillow --user

Usage

KDE

$ bash install_kde_service_menu.sh

then it will be available right in the context menu Actions/Install from QR Code.

Linux / macos

$ ./CiaServer.py path/to/game.cia

Windows

Double click on install_windows_context_menu.cmd to setup file associations. After that you can just double click .CIA file in Windows Explorer.

Also you can run it as usual from command line:

C:\> python CiaServer.py path\to\game.cia
