## Installation
|
2018-04-18 02:00:26 +00:00
|
|
|
Write.as GTK uses the [Meson/Ninja](http://mesonbuild.com/) build system, and as such you can install it on
|
2018-04-18 01:45:35 +00:00
|
|
|
any FreeDesktop.Org compatible system using:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-04-22 00:21:25 +00:00
|
|
|
meson build && cd build
|
2018-04-18 01:45:35 +00:00
|
|
|
ninja
|
|
|
|
|
sudo ninja install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will install the executable file and the metadata required to integrate with
|
|
|
|
|
those desktops. It also installs metadata to be collected by package repositories
|
2018-04-18 02:00:26 +00:00
|
|
|
which integrate with certain package managers for richer presentation of apps.
