# Simple CLI autoclicker for linux
[](https://crates.io/crates/theclicker)
Works on both xorg and wayland by utilising uinput and evdev!
## Running

## Install
```cargo install theclicker```
[](https://repology.org/project/theclicker/versions)
## To run TheClicker
Run `theclicker`
Select your input device.
If it is not a legacy device, for example: `/dev/input/mouse{N}` or `/dev/input/mice`, choose the binding for left and right by pressing then confirming.
I recommend hold and grab mode.
Grab mode has been tested on KDE Plasma Wayland `6.2.5` and `6.5.4`
You can use `--help` to see more information!
## Build
If you don't have Rust installed you can install rust from [rustup](https://rustup.rs/)
You need to have the stable toolchain installed!
Then run: `cargo build --release`
The binary path will be: `./target/release/theclicker`
# Problems?
## Crashes
Add your user to the input group, (may not work on all systems): `sudo usermod -aG input $USER`
Or try running as root:
Move the executable to /usr/local/bin: `sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 $(which theclicker) /usr/local/bin/`
Execute: `sudo theclicker`
