## Installation
There are 3 ways to install the application:
#### Using NPM:
```bash
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm=true flap-app-launcher
#Note: "--unsafe-perm=true" is needed because of this: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/17268
```
Run anywhere with `flap-app-launcher`.
#### Download *.deb package:
Down load from [latest release page](https://github.com/antonfisher/flap-app-launcher/releases/latest).
Or execute in the bash:
```bash
# for x86_64
wget https://github.com/antonfisher/flap-app-launcher/releases/download/v1.1.2/flap-app-launcher_1.1.2_x64.deb
sudo dpkg -i flap-app-launcher_1.1.2_x64.deb

The config file will be created after first application run.
Default hotkey: `Super+Space`.
To change default hotkey edit the config file:
```
# for npm or binaries installation:
vim ~/.flap-app-launcher.config.json
# for source code installation:
vim %SOURCE_DIR%/.flap-app-launcher.config.json
```
__NOTE:__ single hotkeys (like just `Super`) are not supported now.
## Add to the autorun on Ubuntu
The _Command_ must be:
- for NPM installation: `flap-app-launcher`
- for binaries installation: `%PATH_TO_BINARIES%/flap-app-launcher`.

- [x] automate build binaries
- [x] tests coverage
- [x] configuration file
- [x] configuration window
- [x] automate release process
- [ ] driver for iOS/Win (?)
- [ ] add google apps support
