When trying to run the file it gives this error

PS C:\Users\adubo\Downloads> java -jar open-ds-v0.2.4.jar

There's a small bug that broke aarch64 support with v0.2.4. Using the latest commit in the master branch should resolve this issue. Here's the commit that fixes the issue: 1638bb1.

You can either build it yourself or download it from here (if you're in the US): https://opends.aptapus.net/builds/a796a01.jar

That being said I don't have an aarch64 windows computer so it may have issues with not being able to find the native function bindings. Please let me know if this is the case; and if so there may be something you can provide to fix it for the whole repo as well.

What should I do to get the native bindings?

[Anthony2be]

I tried building the bindings myself but I unfortunately have no idea how cmake works and I couldn’t get it to run the file

[Anthony2be]

okay finally got the native bindings and got it to build but now its giving this error when I try to run it

Ah it looks like the library I use for global input capturing doesn't support aarch64 Windows, sorry (source). I haven't had a chance to write my own version of that library but it is on the potential improvements list.
