RoonCommandLine Version 2.1.2, released today, includes support for installation and use of the Roon TUI terminal user interface for Roon. The Roon TUI project is maintained by TheAppgineer organization, authors of the Roon Extension Manager. Roon TUI uses its own developed Rust port of the Roon API.
After installing RoonCommandLine, Roon TUI can be installed with the command roon -I and opened with the command roon -O. The RoonCommandLine menu interface can also be used to install and open roon-tui.
The RoonCommandLine installation of roon-tui installs the binary as ~/.local/bin/roon-tui or /opt/homebrew/bin/roon-tui on macOS.
RoonCommandLine includes a front-end wrapper for roon-tui, installed as /usr/local/Roon/bin/roontui which serves to locate the roon-tui configuration file and log in ~/.config/roon-tui/.
The roon-tui terminal user interface for Roon can be executed either with the wrapper, roontui or with roon -O. Executing roon-tui directly will attempt to use and write the configuration and log files
in the directory where roon-tui is located. Recommended usage is either with roontui or, if no options are required, roon -O.
