Synergy 1
You may want to have Synergy start at login on your Raspberry Pi. Also, if you don’t have a keyboard and mouse connected (only a screen), you may want need to install Synergy remotely on a Raspberry Pi via SSH.
Instructions
Download Synergy for Raspberry Pi. Not sure which version to download? Check out our article on this subject: Do I install ARMHF or ARM64 on my Raspberry Pi?
Optionally, rename the download to synergy.deb (for convenience).
Next, transfer the file to your Pi (example: 192.168.1.15):
scp synergy.deb pi@192.168.1.15
Once the file has been transferred to your Pi, run these commands:
sudo apt install ./synergy.deb
Test it works by running the this command:
synergyc -f --name pi 192.168.1.15
Optional steps
If you'd like to, create a script to launch the Synergy client:
sudo nano ~/synergy.sh
Copy and paste the following into nano:
#!/bin/bash
killall synergyc
sleep 1
synergyc --name pi 192.168.1.15
exit 0
Next, create an auto-start script:
sudo mkdir -p ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE
sudo nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
And paste this into nano:
~/synergy.sh
Finally, run your new client launcher script:
sudo chmod +x ~/synergy.sh
~/synergy.sh
