# RoboCommander v0.3.6

A desktop application built with Electron for controlling and managing robot interactions.

## Requirements

- **Node.js v8.11.1** (use [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) to manage versions)
- All required `node_modules` are included — no `npm install` needed

## Setup

### 1. Install nvm (if not already installed)

```bash
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash
```

### 2. Install and use Node v8.11.1

```bash
nvm install 8.11.1
nvm use 8.11.1
```

Verify:

```bash
node --version
# Expected: v8.11.1
```

### 3. Extract the archive (if you haven't already)

```bash
tar -xf RoboCommander.tar -C /path/to/destination
cd /path/to/destination
```

## Running the App

Launch with the bundled Electron binary:

```bash
./node_modules/.bin/electron .
```

This will open the RoboCommander window (1280x720).

### Linux: No display / headless environment

If you get a display error, make sure your `DISPLAY` environment variable is set:

```bash
DISPLAY=:0 ./node_modules/.bin/electron .
```

## Notes

- Do **not** run with `node main.js` — this is an Electron app and must be launched via the `electron` binary.
- The app is pre-built. Source files are bundled into `main.js` and `renderer.js` — no build step is required.
- Electron version: **4.0.8**
