External tools—**adb**, **ssh**, **scrcpy**—are used from your system: install them separately and, if needed, set paths under **File → Preferences**.\n\n### About the name\n\n**Adbnik** combines **ADB** (Android Debug Bridge) with **-nik**, a productive-form suffix familiar from words like ***technik*** (technician; someone who works with tools). It signals a utility focused on hands-on device work—not a generic “suite,” but a workstation built around real debugging and transfer tasks.\n\n---\n\n## Capabilities\n\n| Area | Details |\n|------|---------|\n| **ADB** | Device selection, shell sessions, APK install flow, bookmarks, quick actions |\n| **SSH** | Full-screen terminal via your system OpenSSH client |\n| **Serial** | COM port and baud configuration in the UI |\n| **Files** | Dual-pane explorer: local disk ↔ Android / SFTP / FTP |\n| **Screen** | Start and manage mirroring using your chosen executable |\n\n---\n\n## User guide\n\nStep-by-step documentation for the **Terminal**, **File Explorer**, and **Screen Control** tabs (menus, shortcuts, mirroring options), plus where to put **adb** / **scrcpy** on disk:\n\n**https://nvnkennedy.github.io/adbnik/guide/index.html** (styled pages—Terminal, Explorer, Screen—same site as the project home).\n\nIn the app: **Help → User guide** (F1) opens that URL; **Help** also lists the website, GitHub, and PyPI.\n\n---\n\n## Requirements\n\n- **Python 3.9+** (64-bit recommended on Windows)\n- **Android:** USB debugging enabled; **platform-tools** (`adb`) available to the same environment that runs Adbnik\n- **SSH:** `ssh` on `PATH` (or wherever your shell resolves it)\n- **Mirroring:** `scrcpy` or another tool—`PATH` or **Preferences**\n- **Serial:** Port visible to the OS with the correct driver\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\n### pip (recommended)\n\nUse the **same** Python interpreter for `pip` and for launching (avoids broken entry points on Windows):\n\n```bat\npy -m pip install --upgrade pip\npy -m pip install adbnik\npy -m adbnik\n```\n\nPinned interpreter example:\n\n```bat\n\"C:\\Path\\To\\Python\\python.exe\" -m pip install adbnik\n\"C:\\Path\\To\\Python\\python.exe\" -m adbnik\n```\n\n**Package index:** [pypi.org/project/adbnik](https://pypi.org/project/adbnik/) · **Files:** [pypi.org/project/adbnik/#files](https://pypi.org/project/adbnik/#files)\n\nThe **[PyPI project](https://pypi.org/project/adbnik/)** ships **wheels and an sdist** for `pip install` under the **Apache License 2.0** ([`LICENSE`](LICENSE), SPDX **`Apache-2.0`**). **Current stable** is **`6.0.0`** (see [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md)); earlier **1.0.x** and dev-era lines are documented there and in [`CHANGELOG-legacy.md`](CHANGELOG-legacy.md).\n\nOn the PyPI project page, **Project links** (from `[project.urls]` in [`pyproject.toml`](pyproject.toml)) include **Windows installer (unsigned)** → GitHub Releases. PyPI’s file list is for **Python packages** only; the **Setup `.exe`** is large and Windows-specific, so it is **built in CI**, attached to **[GitHub Releases](https://github.com/nvnkennedy/adbnik/releases)**, and linked from PyPI—not bundled inside the universal wheel.\n\n### Windows installer from GitHub Releases (optional, unsigned)\n\nWhen we attach a **`Adbnik-*-Setup-unsigned.exe`** build to [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/nvnkennedy/adbnik/releases), it is a convenience installer produced with **PyInstaller** + **Inno Setup**. It is **not** digitally signed with an Authenticode certificate yet.\n\n**Where files land when you build locally:** the repo-root **`installers/`** folder (`Adbnik-\u003cversion\u003e-Setup-unsigned.exe` and portable `.zip`). That folder is **empty in git** until you run the build — see [`installers/README.md`](installers/README.md).\n\n**Why Windows warns (“SmartScreen”, “Unknown publisher”, “Windows protected your PC”):** Microsoft flags **unknown / unsigned** executables by policy. That does **not** mean the installer was flagged as malware—it means there is **no publisher certificate** on the file.\n\n**Run anyway:** On the SmartScreen dialog, choose **More info** (or **More details**), then **Run anyway**. If the browser blocked the download: open **Downloads**, right‑click the file → **Properties** → check **Unblock** if shown → **OK**, then run again.\n\nIf you prefer not to use an unsigned `.exe`, install with **`pip`** above (packages on PyPI are standard Python artifacts).\n\n### Shortcut (Windows)\n\n`pip` cannot place shortcuts or ask for a folder. After installing, run **once** on Windows:\n\n```bat\nadbnik-setup\n```\n\nA folder dialog opens (starting on your Desktop); choose where to put **`Adbnik.lnk`**. No extra console window is shown—only the dialogs. The shortcut uses **this Python** (`python -m adbnik`) and the same **app icon** as the window. Icon files are cached under `%LOCALAPPDATA%\\Adbnik\\`.\n\nNon-interactive example (e.g. script or batch file, **with** console output):\n\n```bat\nadbnik-setup --folder \"%USERPROFILE%\\Desktop\"\n```\n\n---\n\n## First run\n\n1. Start the app: `python -m adbnik` from the environment where the package is installed.\n2. Under **File → Preferences**, set paths for **ADB** and **scrcpy** if they are not on `PATH`.\n3. Use the main tabs for **Terminal**, **Files**, and **Screen** as needed.\n\nPreferences are stored in **`.adbnik.json`** under your user profile. Legacy **`.devicedeck.json`** settings are migrated when you save preferences.\n\n---\n\n## Screenshots\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvnkennedy/adbnik/main/docs/screenshots/01-main-window.png\" width=\"720\" alt=\"Main window\" /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvnkennedy/adbnik/main/docs/screenshots/02-terminal.png\" width=\"720\" alt=\"Terminal\" /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvnkennedy/adbnik/main/docs/screenshots/03-file-explorer.png\" width=\"720\" alt=\"File explorer\" /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvnkennedy/adbnik/main/docs/screenshots/04-screen-control.png\" width=\"720\" alt=\"Screen control\" /\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n---\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n**`ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'adbnik'`** — Install and run with the same `python.exe`:\n\n```bat\n\"C:\\Path\\To\\Python\\python.exe\" -m pip install --force-reinstall adbnik\n\"C:\\Path\\To\\Python\\python.exe\" -m adbnik\n```\n\nOn Windows, list interpreters with `py -0p`.\n\n---\n\n## Resources\n\n| | |\n|--|--|\n| **Product site** | [nvnkennedy.github.io/adbnik](https://nvnkennedy.github.io/adbnik/) — overview and links |\n| **User guide** | [nvnkennedy.github.io/adbnik/guide/](https://nvnkennedy.github.io/adbnik/guide/index.html) — Terminal, File Explorer, Screen Control |\n| **Changelog** | [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) — **v6.0.0** and earlier public releases; [CHANGELOG-legacy.md](CHANGELOG-legacy.md) — dev-era **2.x–5.x** |\n| **Source code** | [github.com/nvnkennedy/adbnik](https://github.com/nvnkennedy/adbnik) |\n| **Releases (installer `.exe`, portable zip)** | [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/nvnkennedy/adbnik/releases) |\n| **Yanking old PyPI versions** | [docs/pypi-yank-legacy-versions.md](docs/pypi-yank-legacy-versions.md) |\n\n---\n\n## Building from source\n\n```bat\ngit clone https://github.com/nvnkennedy/adbnik.git\ncd adbnik\npy -m venv .venv\n.venv\\Scripts\\activate\npy -m pip install -e \".[dev]\"\npy -m pytest tests -q\npy -m adbnik\n```\n\n---\n\n## License\n\n**Apache License 2.0** — see [`LICENSE`](LICENSE) and [`NOTICE`](NOTICE).
