Bicimon is an open-source monitoring tool for bicycles, developed by knrdl. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Bicimon on Elementary OS, the latest version.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
Follow the below steps to install Bicimon on your Elementary OS machine:
Step 1: Install Git
Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system. In order to download the Bicimon files from the GitHub repository, you will need to install Git on your system. Open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo apt-get install git
Step 2: Clone the Bicimon repository
After installing Git, navigate to the directory where you want to store the Bicimon files. Clone the GitHub repository by executing the following command:
git clone https://github.com/knrdl/bicimon.git
This command will create a new directory named bicimon and download all the necessary files to that directory.
Step 3: Install the required packages
Bicimon requires some additional packages to run, which can be installed by a single command. Enter the following command in the terminal to install the required packages:
sudo apt-get install g++ make libusb-1.0-0-dev libgtkmm-3.0-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev
Step 4: Build Bicimon
To build Bicimon, navigate to the bicimon directory that you cloned in step 2:
cd bicimon
Next, run the following command to build the application:
make
The build process will take some time as it compiles all the necessary files.
Step 5: Run Bicimon
Once the build process is complete, you can run Bicimon by executing the following command:
./bicimon
The Bicimon application will launch, and you can start monitoring your bicycle.
