so, your status never goes `Idle` and your screen never gets locked 😂 ...\n\n\n## 🛠 Installation\nTo begin with, you need to have a [Python version \u003e=3.8](https://www.python.org) installed and to install the library\nfrom [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/afk-bot/) simply run 🏃‍♀️ :\n```\n$ pip install afk-bot\n```\n\n## 📌 Quick Start\n`afk-bot` is a `command-line` based bot and you can simply run it in any `terminal` 🏃‍♀️ :\n```\n$ afk-bot                     \u003c- runs the bot and the mouse cursor moves every 1 second by default\n\n$ afk-bot -t \u003cinterval-range\u003e \u003c- you can customize the interval with -t or --time\n\n$ afk-bot --help              \u003c- shows the options \n```\nTo `exit`, simply press `CTRL+C` keys. \n\n## 📣 Common Issues\n  - Mac users should note that the accessibility to `Apple Events Server (AEServer)` should be turned on. Simply follow the steps 🏃‍♀️ :\n    ```\n    System Preferences \u003e Security \u0026 Privacy \u003e Choose Privacy Tab \u003e Select Accessibility from Left Pane \u003e Enable AEServer\n    ```\n  - Some Linux users might need to export the environment variable `DISPLAY`. Simply run 🏃‍♀️ :\n    ```\n    $ export DISPLAY=:0\n    ```\n## 🧑‍💻🤝 Contributing\nIf you think more features should be added, please open up an issue an. PRs are more than welcome 🙏 .
