Installation

Installation will copy itself to C:\windows\bridge.exe and create a Windows service.
Logs are stored in C:\windows\logs\bridge.log.

Preparing macOS for Installation

Before proceeding with the installation, you need to set up a LaunchAgent due to the way $TMPDIR works on macOS.

  • Download the latest build from the releases.
  • Open the archive and make the launchd.sh script executable by doing: chmod +x launchd.sh.
  • To install the LaunchAgent, run ./launchd.sh install and to remove it simply run ./launchd.sh remove.

The script will add a LaunchAgent to your user, that will symlink the $TMPDIR directory to /tmp/rpc-bridge/tmpdir.
