# RPC++
RPC++ is a tool for Discord RPC (Rich Presence) to let your friends know about your Linux system
## Installing requirements
### Arch based systems
```sh
pacman -S unzip
```
### Debian based systems
```sh
apt install unzip -y
```
## Building
**GNU Make**, and **Discord Game SDK** are **required**. To see more information about setting up Discord Game SDK, see [DISCORD.md](./DISCORD.md)
If you have Arch Linux, please read the AUR section.
To build RPC++, use the command:
```sh
make
```
## Installing & Running
To install RPC++, run the this command:
```sh
sudo make install
```
You can run the app from any directory with
```sh
rpcpp
```
To run manually (without installing) you need to start `./build/rpcpp` with the variables `LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$(pwd)/lib"`
## AUR
RPC++ is available in the Arch User Repository.
To install, it run the commands:
```sh
pacman -S --needed base-devel
pacman -S git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rpcpp-git.git
cd rpcpp-git
makepkg -si
```
You can use an AUR helper (for example yay):
```sh
yay -S rpcpp-git
```
## Features
- Displays your distro with an icon (supported: Arch, Gentoo, Mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro)
- Displays the focused window's class name with an icon (see supported apps [here](./APPLICATIONS.md))
- Displays CPU and RAM usage %
- Displays your window manager (WM)
- Displays your uptime
- Refreshes every second
## Will you add more application/distro support?
Sure, let me know on my [discord server](https://grial.tech/discord)! Though I'm pretty sure Discord has a limit of images that can be uploaded per application.
## Contributing
You can make pull requests, to improve the code or if you have new ideas, but I don't think I will update the code very often.
## Supporting
Want to support me? That's great! Joining my [discord server](https://grial.tech/discord) and subscribing to my [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi-C-JNMVZNpX9kOs2ZLwxw) would help a lot!
