Can I run Lute on my phone or pad?
Lute doesn't have a dedicated mobile offline client. It needs a server to run the backend python code.
You can still use Lute on your iPhone/iPad/whatever, though.
One option is to set up a web server somewhere in the cloud, and access that. (That might be tricky, I won't be able to help with that.)
If your computer is running Lute, and it's on a Wifi network, you should be able to access it if your phone is on that same network:
- start Lute. It will say something like
Lute is running. Open a web browser, and go to: http://localhost:5001
. The last 4 digits are the port number. - make a note of your computer's IP address (somewhere in your computer settings ... it might be something like
192.168.1.10
, or10.0.0.126
. - in your phone/tablet/whatever, connect to the same Wifi network, start up the browser, and go to
http://<the-ip-address>:<port-number>
. E.g., on my phone, it washttp://10.0.0.126:9876
, because I run my Lute on port 9876.
Note that your computer has to be running (not asleep), and Lute has to be running! :-P
