make install                 
# Stopping the service
systemctl --user stop touchcursor.service

# Copying application to /usr/bin

sudo cp ./out/touchcursor /usr/bin
sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/touchcursor

# Copying default configuration file to /home/surajm/.config/touchcursor/touchcursor.conf
mkdir -p /home/surajm/.config/touchcursor
cp -n touchcursor.conf /home/surajm/.config/touchcursor

# Copying service file to /home/surajm/.config/systemd/user
mkdir -p /home/surajm/.config/systemd/user
cp -f touchcursor.service /home/surajm/.config/systemd/user

# Enabling and starting the service
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable touchcursor.service
Created symlink /home/surajm/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/touchcursor.service → /home/surajm/.config/systemd/user/touchcursor.service.
systemctl --user start touchcursor.service

Then I ran systemctl --user start touchcursor.service. After doing this I checked status of the service using systemctl --user status touchcursor.service which gives

This was probably happening because I was editing the configuration file within the cloned folder rather it had to edited in ~/.config/touchcursor

Hello, I am glad that you have figured out where was the problem and TouchCursor now works for you, too.

This shows, however, that we could do a better job at explaining the installation steps and providing a more useful logging information as well as specific exit codes. The redesign of logging capabilities of the service is currently a work in progress. Hopefully, it will provide more precise information of what went wrong for the user in the future.

Thank you for the feedback. Have fun and enjoy TouchCursor.
