 ## Contact - A Console UI for Meshtastic

+pip install contact

+> ```powershell
+> pip install windows-curses

 This Python curses client for Meshtastic is a terminal-based client designed to manage device settings, enable mesh chat communication, and handle configuration backups and restores.

 - `--port`, `--serial`, `-s`: The port to connect to via serial, e.g. `/dev/ttyUSB0`.
 - `--host`, `--tcp`, `-t`: The hostname or IP address to connect to using TCP, will default to localhost if no host is passed.
 - `--ble`, `-b`: The BLE device MAC address or name to connect to.
+- `--settings`, `--set`, `--control`, `-c`: Launch directly into the settings.
 
 If no connection arguments are specified, the client will attempt a serial connection and then a TCP connection to localhost.
 
 ### Example Usage
 
 ```sh
-python main.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0
-python main.py --host 192.168.1.1
-python main.py --ble BlAddressOfDevice
+contact --port /dev/ttyUSB0
+contact --host 192.168.1.1

 ```sh
-python main.py -t
