What is this kelboy-launcher?

It's developed in Python 3 using pygame compatible with Raspbian or Raspberry Pi OS versions.

Install instructions

cd /home/pi/
git clone https://github.com/lemoncrest/kelboy-launcher

In bin/ folder there are some interesting scripts for this software. Just use install.sh script to get it working in your kelboy.

bin/install.sh

Additionally, it's a launcher, so you need to edit .bashrc or some startup file (if you're able to create a service use this option) to get it working. F.I. in .bashrc include:

if [ -n "$SSH_CLIENT" ] || [ -n "$SSH_TTY" ]; then
    echo "welcome to kelboy throw ssh session"
else
    cd kelboy-launcher
    ./launcher.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
