/usr/local/bin/rar/rar
I don't have a Mac so I've never been able to test this myself. Please let me know if there is another unrar executable for Mac and I will add the info to Canti.


I've received requests from others for a GUI as well. I will try to get, at the very least, an extremely basic GUI out. At the moment I am doing research for another project and also working on speeding up Canti (been working on the speed up for a while... very tricky), so it may be some time before a GUI comes out.

For now, to run Canti in Windows you need to:
1) Download the latest version of Canti
2) Unzip it (will give you Canti.jar and readme.txt)
3) Follow the instructions in the readme.txt file. It will explain how to make a default settings file for your ereader device and then how to run Canti.
I am kinda in that same spot on my FOSS app; it works great at the cmd line (which is great for running multiple instances on headless boxes and a GUI would just kind of mess up), have had a few GUI requests but I put that task down below getting it working as best it can before worrying about a GUI. Does that limit my "market" or target audience? Probably but instead of writing it for other people, I wrote it because I needed something and just made the source available to others if they want and have the resources to use it...
