Runtime dependencies

Linux users may have to install libxdo-dev if they are using X11. For example, on Debian-based distros:

apt-get install libxdo-dev

On Arch:

pacman -S xdotool

On Fedora:

dnf install libX11-devel libxdo-devel

On Gentoo:

emerge -a xdotool

Migrating from a previous version

Please have a look at our changelog to find out what you have to do, if you used a previous version.

Permissions

Some platforms have security measures in place to prevent programs from entering keys or controlling the mouse. Have a look at the permissions documentation to see what you need to do to allow it.
