This is a simple cli application for Gnome desktop Linux environments that disables 

the lock screen and screen off/idle timer whilst running.

- Viewing a recipe whilst cooking

- Keeping dashboards / charts visible in the background, eg: stock tickers, grafana, etc

## Requirements

- NodeJS / npm

- A Gnome desktop environment

## Usage

Either install the package globally, or execute using `npx`.

### Using npx

```shell

$ npx gnome-stay-awake

```

### Global Installation

(note: you'll need to ensure that `echo $(npm config get prefix)/bin` is on your `$PATH`)

```shell

$ npm i -g gnome-stay-awake

$ gnome-stay-awake

```
