---

Prerequisites

• Garmin Connect IQ SDK installed
• monkeyc and monkeydo available in your PATH (or use full paths)
• A valid developer key (developer_key.der)
• (Optional) A physical Garmin device for installation

Build

From the project root:

monkeyc -f monkey.jungle \
  -o bin/FiveByFive.prg \
  -y /path/to/developer_key.der

This generates the compiled app in the bin/ directory.

Build Connect IQ Submission Package (.iq)

Use the helper script to generate a submission-ready .iq package:

scripts/build-iq-package.sh -s "/path/to/connectiq-sdk"

You can also set the SDK path via environment variable:

CONNECTIQ_SDK_HOME="/path/to/connectiq-sdk" scripts/build-iq-package.sh

Optional flags:

• -k /path/to/key.der to override signing key (default: ~/.ciq/developer_key.der)
• -o /path/to/output.iq to override output path (default: bin/FiveByFive.iq)

Runing in Simulator

1. Start the Simulator

If the SDK tools are in your PATH:

simulator

Otherwise, run the simulator binary from your Connect IQ SDK installation directory.

2. Deploy to Simulator

In a separate terminal

monkeydo bin/FiveByFive.prg <device-id>

Replace <device-id> with your target device (for example: fr245).

Install on a Physical Device

1. Connect your Garmin device via USB.
2. Locate the mounted Garmin drive.
3. Copy the compiled .prg file to: GARMIN/APPS/

Example:

cp bin/FiveByFive.prg /Volumes/GARMIN/GARMIN/APPS/

4. Safely eject the device.
