Node.js wrapper for f.lux on Linux

DISCLAIMER:

I am in no way associated nor do I own any part of f.lux or xflux software.

This is simply an extension to make it more usable for myself and hopefully others. This software is non-profit and free to use and/or copy for everyone. The xflux binary is from here.

Install

Helux runs on Node.js, so working node and npm are required.

• git clone https://github.com/Dauta/helux.git
• navigate to the project directory and ./install (this will run npm-install and create symlinks in your /usr/bin to use helux commands globally. It might ask for a sudo password input)

Usage

• helux {YOUR LOCATION} to start helux. YOUR LOCATION usually refers to your city/town, but it will accept anything Google Maps understands (thanks to Nominatim API)
• helux off to stop Helux.

Uninstall

• To uninstall Helux navigate to project directory and run ./uninstall (this will remove the symlinks)
