## 🚀 **Quick Start**

### Installation

#### Option 1: Install from PyPI (Recommended)

```bash
# Using pipx (recommended - manages virtual environment automatically)
pipx install argus-overview

# Run
argus-overview
```

If you don't have pipx installed:
```bash
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install pipx
pipx ensurepath

# Fedora
sudo dnf install pipx
pipx ensurepath

# Arch
sudo pacman -S python-pipx
pipx ensurepath
```

<details>
<summary>Alternative: Install in a virtual environment</summary>

```bash
# Create and activate virtual environment
python3 -m venv ~/.venv/argus
source ~/.venv/argus/bin/activate

# Install
pip install argus-overview

# Run (with venv activated)
argus-overview
```

**Note:** Modern Linux distributions (Debian 12+, Ubuntu 23.04+, Fedora 38+) use PEP 668 to protect the system Python. Running `pip install argus-overview` directly will show an "externally-managed-environment" error. Use `pipx` or a virtual environment instead.

</details>

#### Option 2: Portable Tarball (No Installation)

Download the portable tarball from [Releases](https://github.com/AreteDriver/Argus_Overview/releases) - runs directly after extraction with no installation required.

```bash
# Download and extract
tar xf argus-overview-X.X.X-portable-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd argus-overview-X.X.X

# Run immediately
./run.sh

# Optional: Add to applications menu
./install-desktop.sh
```

This is the simplest option - just unpack and run. The tarball includes a bundled Python virtual environment with all dependencies.

#### Option 3: Install from Source

```bash
# One-liner install
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AreteDriver/Argus_Overview/main/install.sh | bash

# Or manual installation
git clone https://github.com/AreteDriver/Argus_Overview
cd Argus_Overview
./install.sh

# Run
~/argus-overview/run.sh
```

### First-Time Setup

1. **Main Tab**: Add EVE windows, minimize inactive to save GPU
2. **Characters & Teams Tab**: Add your characters, create teams
3. **Layouts Tab**: Save your window arrangements
4. **Settings Sync Tab**: Copy settings from your main to alts

## ⚙️ **System Requirements**

- **OS**: Linux (X11 or XWayland required - see Wayland note below)
- **Python**: 3.10 or higher
- **System Tools**: wmctrl, xdotool, ImageMagick, x11-apps

### Dependencies
```bash
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install wmctrl xdotool imagemagick x11-apps python3-pip

# Fedora/RHEL
sudo dnf install wmctrl xdotool ImageMagick xorg-x11-apps python3-pip

# Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S wmctrl xdotool imagemagick xorg-xwd python-pip
```

### Wayland Compatibility

Argus Overview requires X11 tools (`wmctrl`, `xdotool`) to function. These tools **do not work on pure Wayland** sessions.

| Session Type | Works? | Notes |
|--------------|--------|-------|
| X11 (Xorg) | Yes | Full functionality |
| XWayland | Yes | Most Wayland sessions include XWayland by default |
| Pure Wayland | No | Wayland security model prevents window management |

**Why doesn't pure Wayland work?**

Wayland's security model intentionally prevents applications from:
- Listing windows from other applications
- Capturing screenshots of other windows
- Moving or focusing other application windows
- Sending keystrokes to other windows

This is a security feature, not a bug. EVE-O Preview on Windows works because Windows allows these operations.

**Running EVE with `PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND`?**

When EVE runs as a native Wayland window, Argus Overview cannot capture or control it. Solutions:

1. **Remove `PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND`** - Let EVE run under XWayland (default behavior)
2. **Use an X11 session** - Select "GNOME on Xorg" or similar at login
3. **Check XWayland is running** - Most compositors enable it by default. Verify with: `echo $DISPLAY`

Argus Overview will detect pure Wayland sessions at startup and display a warning.

## 🎯 **Performance**

- **Memory**: ~50-100 MB per preview
- **CPU**: 2-5% per preview at 30 FPS
- **GPU Savings**: 50-80% with minimize inactive feature
- **Capture Latency**: <50ms with threaded system

---

## 🛠️ **Troubleshooting**

**"Wayland Detected" warning at startup?**
→ See [Wayland Compatibility](#wayland-compatibility) section above. Run EVE without `PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND` or use an X11 session.

**No windows detected / empty window list?**
→ Check if running pure Wayland: `echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE`. If "wayland" and `echo $DISPLAY` is empty, X11 tools won't work.

**Characters not found for settings sync?**
→ Add custom EVE installation path in Settings Sync tab

**Windows not auto-arranging?**
→ Ensure character names match EVE window titles

**High CPU usage?**
→ Reduce refresh rate or number of active previews
