brew install rust sdl2 sdl2_image sdl2_ttf

• dnf (Fedora):

sudo dnf install rust cargo SDL2-devel SDL2_image-devel SDL2_ttf-devel

• apt-get (Raspbian):

# Doing this just because `apt-get` only has an outdated version of the toolchain:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev

Build and Run

Assuming you've cloned the project and installed the required dependencies, run the following from the project's root folder:

cargo run --release

Or, with logging enabled:

RUST_LOG=wbor_studio_dashboard cargo run --release

Scripts

• To delete recent Twilio messages, use delete_twilio_msgs.sh. Change the number of messages to delete in the script, and it'll delete that number of messages one-by-one.
• To send surprises to the dashboard (images that appear for a certain amount of time, with certain chances of appearing at any second), use trigger_surprise.sh. Just pass it the name of a surprise that you've set up in dashboard.rs, and it'll send it over a local socket which the dashboard reads from.
