How to Download, Install, and Set Up AndroMouse Server AndroMouse turns your Android device into a wireless mouse, keyboard, and media controller for your computer. To make this connection work, you must install the AndroMouse Server desktop application on your PC.
Here is the step-by-step guide to downloading, installing, and setting up the AndroMouse Server. Prerequisites
Before starting, ensure your system meets these basic requirements: A computer running Windows, Mac, or Linux.
An Android phone or tablet with the AndroMouse app installed. Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on your computer.
Both devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network (or paired via Bluetooth). Step 1: Download and Install Java
AndroMouse Server is a Java-based application. It will not run without Java installed on your computer.
Open your web browser and navigate to the official Java download page.
Download the installer compatible with your operating system (Windows, Mac, or Linux).
Run the downloaded file and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. Restart your computer if prompted. Step 2: Download AndroMouse Server
Always download the server files from official sources to ensure your system security. Visit the official AndroMouse website on your computer. Navigate to the Downloads section.
Select the AndroMouse Server file (usually packaged as a .jar file or a zip archive containing the executable).
Save the file to a memorable location, such as your Desktop or Downloads folder. Step 3: Run and Configure AndroMouse Server
Since the server is a portable application, it does not require a traditional installation wizard. Locate the downloaded AndroMouse Desktop Server.jar file. Double-click the file to run it.
If a Windows Defender or firewall prompt appears, click Allow Access. The app requires network permissions to communicate with your phone.
The AndroMouse Server window will open, displaying your computer’s IP Address and a Port number (usually 61000). Keep this window open. Step 4: Connect Your Android Device
With the server running on your PC, you can now link your mobile device. Method A: Wi-Fi Connection (Recommended) Open the AndroMouse app on your Android device. Tap the Wi-Fi connection option.
If the app does not automatically detect your PC, tap Type IP.
Enter the exact IP address displayed on your AndroMouse Server desktop screen. Tap Connect. Method B: Bluetooth Connection
Pair your Android phone with your computer via your operating system’s Bluetooth settings.
Open the AndroMouse Server on your desktop and ensure the status shows it is ready for connections. Open the AndroMouse app on your phone and select Bluetooth.
Select your computer from the list of paired devices to connect. Troubleshooting Common Issues
The Server File Won’t Open: Right-click the .jar file, select Open With, and choose Java™ Platform SE binary.
Connection Timed Out: Double-check that your phone and computer are on the exact same Wi-Fi network. Private guest networks often block device communication.
Firewall Blocks: If you cannot connect, open your computer’s firewall settings and manually add an exception for Java or the AndroMouse application.
