Getting started
From the project's README ("KUAL Extension for Kindle"):
This repository contains a KUAL extension for use with a jail-broken Amazon Kindle.
Use the following instructions to install Oikos on a jail-broken Kindle.
- Create an oikos folder in your USB mass storage root (/mnt/us/ via SSH). The following instructions refer to this newly folder as $BASEDIR, e.g. BASEDIR="/mnt/us/oikos"
- Copy the oikos armv7hf binary into $BASEDIR
- Copy the contents of the example/ into $BASEDIR, e.g. cp -vr example/{script.rhai,template.svg,fonts} "$BASEDIR"
- Copy and rename the env-kindle.sample file to $BASEDIR/.env, e.g. cp env-kindle.sample "$BASEDIR/.env"
- Copy the KUAL extension from the kual/ folder into the extensions folder in your USB mass storage root, e.g. cp -r kual/oikos /mnt/us/extensions/
