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:

Linux X Server

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.

Windows System

Download the au3 gem
Get the AutoItX3.dll file. The easiest way is to install AutoIt and look in the installation directory for the file.
Copy the AutoItX3.dll file to your Ruby installation’s bin directory
Test it!
