Instruction

1. Denpendencies

First check your python version, which should be 3.6+. All commands should be executed in your terminal.

python3 --version

pip

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

python3 get-pip.py

You might want to restart your terminal.

pip3 install touchbar_lyric

Python Path

Take a note for the python3 path. We will refer it as ${PYTHONPATH}

whereis python3

2. Configuration in BetterTouchTool

Same as Kashi:

1. Copy&paste the content in lyric.json in Meun Bar > Touch Bar;
2. Change the python path /Users/chenghaomou/Anaconda/bin/python to your own python path in the script area;
3. Change any parameters as you like: fc(font color in RGB), bg(background color in RGB), and fs(font size)

${PYTHONPATH} -m touchbar_lyric --app Music

or use Spotify(default)

${PYTHONPATH} -m touchbar_lyric --app Spotify

You can also add --minimal flag at the end of the command to remove title and artists information.

BTT设置

• 复制 lyric.json 里面的内容，在BTT的Touch Bar 配置界面直接粘贴
