Instructions

Download latest release for your platform

Windows

1. Download cp-clip-setup-x.x.x.exe
2. Install it

macOS

Download cp-clip-x.x.x.dmg and follow macOS guide.

Right now macOS version is built for Intel chips, but it should work on M1 chip anyway. I will try to build M1 version in the future for better performance.

Linux

The latest version does not work at the moment. The latest working version is 0.5.1.

1. Download https://github.com/aklein13/cp-clip/releases/download/v0.5.1/cp-clip-0.5.1.AppImage
2. Right click on it
3. Go to Properties and then Permissions
4. Check Allow executing file as program
5. Run it

Or you can just chmod +x it.

If after going through above steps and running the application nothing happens, you most likely need to install libgtk2.0-0 package manually. In order to do that open your terminal and run sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0

Dev Instruction:

After downloading repository run Yarn

You need to install node_modules in both root directory and ./app directory.

yarn
cd app && yarn && cd ..

Then you can use following commands:

• Run in dev environment (from root directory)

yarn dev

• Package release for your current platform

yarn package

• Package release for Windows, Mac and Linux

yarn package-all

TODO

• Some styling (especially on cleanup window)
• Settings to change key binds
• Show release notes in update prompt?
