This is a weird script. It's a ruby script that creates a web server, but the web server listens for... It runs a python script that uses python-xlib to listen for key presses, and when a key is pressed it uses curl to open the connection to the ruby script.. when the ruby script receives a request it plays a sound. So really it's the Python script that's doing all the work... If you can just try downloading the python script[1] and replacing 'curl http://localhost:4567/key' with 'aplay myfile.wav' [1] http://github.com/colszowka/linux-typewriter/blob/master/bin/keypress.py
