Setting up clickable

Clickable is a meta-build system for Ubuntu Touch applications that allows you to compile and build click packages in a docker container. Setting up clickable is simple and makes app development fast and easy!

Install

On Ubuntu you can also install clickable from a ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bhdouglass/clickable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install clickable
clickable setup-docker

For other modern GNU/Linux distributions, you can install from the git repository. Note: You must have adb and docker installed on your system.

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/bhdouglass/clickable.git .clickable
echo "export PATH=\$PATH:~/.clickable" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
clickable setup-docker

First app

Now you are set up to build your first app! Activate the developer mode on your device and connect it to your PC to run your app directly on the device:

git clone https://github.com/bhdouglass/ut-app-template
cd ut-app-template/
clickable

This should build and start an app on your Ubuntu Touch device displaying “Hello World!”
