The wiki explains how to use monkey-hi-hat, but also how to set up your system correctly.

Other than a source of music, there are only three requirements to use monkey-hi-hat on Windows: .NET 6.0, the OpenAL drivers, and an audio-loopback driver. However, monkey-hi-hat is designed for interactive control from a remote device, so if you run it full-screen, you may also want ssh remote-terminal support, or the dedicated monkey-droid GUI (for Windows or Android devices). I support Linux in the sense that I know monkey-hi-hat works on my Raspberry Pi 4B (32-bit Debian 11 Bullseye). Although Linux technically has fewer requirements (OpenAL is already available, and audio-loopback is supported by default), as usual, getting everything working is requires a lot more effort.

The Quick-Start guides will explain all of this for Windows 10 and Windows 11, and for the Raspberry Pi (which probably also applies to other Linux distros / hardware, but I'm not equipped to set it up and try it).

If you're interested in the technical underpinnings, there is some information the eyecandy wiki, which is the library that powers monkey-hi-hat. But at this point, most of the information is here (and in fact, developers interested in eyecandy will also use this wiki to get their system set up right).
