- libgtk-4-dev or gtk4-devel (name depends on the distro)

# Building

## Building with meson

```
meson _build
ninja -C _build
sudo ninja -C _build install
```

## Building with Docker

```
sudo docker build --no-cache . -t lemoa:latest
CONTAINER_ID=$(sudo docker create --name lemoa -t lemoa:latest)
sudo docker cp $(CONTAINER_ID):/root/lemoa/target/release/lemoa .
```

Once the build is done, there will be an executable `lemoa` binary file in your current directory, executing it starts Lemoa :tada:.

## Building the binary only

Not recommended: To only install the binary (can only be started with the terminal), run

```sh
cargo install --git https://github.com/lemmygtk/lemoa.git
```

You can then start the app via the terminal after adding cargo's bin directory to your PATH variable.

# Development

Clone the repository and run

```sh
cargo run
```
