Installation

Client

Install the latest client from PyPI (requires Python 3.10+):

python3 -m pip install -U rpcclient

This provides two console entry points:

  • rpcclient [HOSTNAME] — connect to a remote rpcserver
  • rpclocal — control the local machine, no remote server required

Server

Download and run the latest server artifact for your platform/arch from the latest server-publish GitHub Action, or build it yourself (below).

Building the server

Note

Cross-platform builds are not currently supported — build on the target OS.

Requires Xcode.

python3 -m pip install mypy-protobuf protobuf grpcio-tools
git clone git@github.com:doronz88/rpc-project.git
cd rpc-project
make -C src/protos/ all
cd src/rpcserver
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DTARGET=OSX && make     # macOS
cmake .. -DTARGET=IOS && make     # iOS
