Welcome at the Wiki for the Automations project! It’s a Ruby library that allows you to automate and simulate (fake) user input either on a Linux X server system or a Windows system. To get it working, you have to have a working Ruby 1.9 installation. And this is how to install it:
- Download the xdo gem
- Download the neccessary command-line tools¹. The last three are usually preinstalled.
- xdotool
- xsel
- xwininfo
- eject
- xkill
- Test it!
¹Note to Debian and Ubuntu users: You can try to apt-get this tools.
- Download the au3 gem
- Get the AutoItX3.dll file. The easiest way is to install AutoIt and look in the installation directory for the file¹.
- Copy the AutoItX3.dll file to your Ruby installation’s bin directory
- Test it!
¹Note: If you want to deploy your application, your end users won’t need AutoIt to be installed – just include the AutoItX DLL file (and make sure you’ve read the AutoIt license, it’s quite short).
