Introduction

The tools

Kano Toolset is composed of a collection of various different tools used across all apps on KanoOS. They are implemented in multiple languages (C/C++, Python, Bash).

For a general road map, make sure to start by reading through the README file.

You will also find specific README files for those tools that need further usage explanations on their respective directories.

How to install it

Kano OS

Kano toolset is installed on all versions of KanoOS. If you want to build the repo separately the best way is to make use of Debian's native package builder, and simply execute debuild from the root directory.

Other environments

Kano toolset is designed to run on the RaspberryPI, so most tools will only run on this platform. kano-splash is specific to the RaspberryPI as it uses the native GPU graphics chip features. kano-leds and kano-camera also take advantage of the board's hardware capabilities.

However some of them should also run on other Linux environments. kano-keys-pressed, webapp and uinput.

How Toolset works

Most of the tools available are integrated and used by the rest of apps on KanoOS. For those that are independent, the most straightforward way is to simply execute them. Have a read through the main README to understand each specific use case.
