Currently the eviacam apt package isn't compiled with consistent GTK versions and thus errors out when started. CAT5TV has an installation script which automatically downloads and installs eviacam and dependencies, and can be found here:

https://github.com/Cat5TV/eviacam

The installation script requires the apt command.

The script also may not put the executable in the PATH, in which case add /usr/local/bin to your PATH or just run /usr/local/bin/eviacam

#eviacam (enable #Viacam) is a webcam based mouse.

In Gish you control Gish, a blob of tar with the ability to stick, slip, and make itself heavy.

Since then FreeGish has replaced the original art with libre clones.
