cd packet

Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

2. Rust

Medium Recommended

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
Rust (rustup) Installing via rustup also installs cargo.

cargo build --release

Compiles the Rust project.

# <img src="data/icons/io.github.nozwock.Packet.svg" /> Packet

A partial implementation of Google's Quick Share protocol that lets you send and receive files wirelessly from Android devices using Quick Share, or another device with Packet.

## Installation

[![flathub-installs-badge]][flathub]

<a href="https://flathub.org/apps/details/io.github.nozwock.Packet">
<img src="https://flathub.org/api/badge?svg&locale=en&dark" width="190px" />
</a>

#### Nightly
Nightly Flatpak builds are available from [here][nightly-build].

## Requirements
Since only the Wi-Fi LAN medium is implemented, Packet requires Bluetooth to be enabled and the devices to be connected to a Wi-Fi network with mDNS.

## Translations
If you'd like to help translate Packet to your native language, you can do so using the [Weblate][translation-platform] platform.

[![Translation status][translation-status-widget]][translation-platform]

## FAQ

#### Can't send to app from other devices

Your firewall may be blocking Packet's port. Enable *Static Port* in Preferences and allow it through the firewall. See issue [#35](https://github.com/nozwock/packet/issues/35).

#### "Couldn't open files"

This error occurs if the file is invalid (e.g. empty) or, on Flatpak, if you're sending files (via the Nautilus plugin) from a location Packet can't access.

Consider granting "All system files" access via Flatseal to allow sending from any location. See [Downloads folder keeps resetting](#downloads-folder-keeps-resetting) for details.

#### Downloads folder keeps resetting

In Flatpak, folder access is temporary and resets after a session restart because static access can't be requested. To set a permanent downloads folder, grant access in advance using Flatseal or run:

```sh
flatpak override --user io.github.nozwock.Packet --filesystem='/path/to/your/folder/here'
```

## Plugin Requirements

To use the Nautilus plugin, install the required packages:

- Ubuntu/Debian:\
`sudo apt install python3-dbus python3-nautilus`
- Fedora:\
`sudo dnf install python3-dbus nautilus-python`
- Arch:\
`sudo pacman -S python-dbus nautilus-python`
- Fedora Silverblue (rpm-ostree):\
`rpm-ostree install python3-dbus nautilus-python`

## Build
The project uses [meson] for its build system. You can build the project either natively or in a flatpak environment.

- Build and run via [meson]:
    ```
    # Build
    meson setup build_dir
    meson compile -C build_dir

# Run
    meson devenv -C build_dir packet

# Install & Run
    sudo meson install -C build_dir --no-rebuild
    packet
    ```
- Build and run via flatpak:
    ```
    # Build
    flatpak-builder --user flatpak_build_dir \
        build-aux/io.github.nozwock.Packet.Devel.json

# Run
    flatpak-builder --run flatpak_build_dir \
        build-aux/io.github.nozwock.Packet.Devel.json \
        packet
    ```
