snap package for scrcpy

**sisco311** · March 10th, 2019

My very first snap !!!

scrcpy is a great tool for controlling your Android device from your computer but unfortunately there is no simple way to install it on Ubuntu so I created a snap package for it.

It's in the snap store's edge channel. If you are interested in you can install it (amd64 only for now) with:

Code:

sudo snap install --edge scrcpy

In order to use the app you need adb-support:

Code:

sudo snap connect scrcpy:adb-support :adb-support

It's in the snap store.

If you need to use the built in adb server, run:

Code:

scrcpy.adb [options]

The current status of the project is: it works for me. So any feedback is welcomed.

git page for scrcpy: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
snap git page: https://github.com/sisco311/scrcpy-snap (Don't expect much; for now is just the .yaml file)

A little update.

I made some progress.

v1.8 of the package is available from the stable channel of the snap store for amd64 and i386. The git version built from the master branch is in the edge channel.

Added some rudimentary installation instructions.

v1.9 is out with some cool new features and bug fixes: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases

The snap now auto connects to the adb-support and home slots.

snaps are updated automatically in the background every day so most snap users should already enjoy the latest version of scrcpy.
