## 🏗ī¸ Building from source ### GNOME Builder GNOME Builder is the environment used for developing this application. It can use Flatpak manifests to create a consistent building and running environment cross-distro. Thus, it is highly recommended you use it. 1. Download [GNOME Builder](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Builder). 2. In Builder, click the "Clone Repository" button at the bottom, using `https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience.git` as the URL. 3. Click the build button at the top once the project is loaded. ### Meson #### Prerequisites The following packages are required to build Gradience: - Python 3 `python` - PyGObject `python-gobject` - Blueprint [`blueprint-compiler`](https://jwestman.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/blueprint-compiler/setup.html) - GTK 4 `gtk4` - Libadwaita (>= 1.2.alpha) `libadwaita` - Libsoup 3 (>= 3.2.0) `libsoup` - Meson `meson` - Ninja `ninja-build` Required Python libraries: ```shell pip install -r requirements.txt ``` #### Build Instruction ##### Global installation ```shell git clone https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience.git cd Gradience meson builddir --prefix=/usr/local sudo ninja -C builddir install ``` ##### Local build (for testing and development purposes) ```shell git clone https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience.git cd Gradience meson builddir meson configure builddir -Dprefix="$(pwd)/builddir" ninja -C builddir install ninja -C builddir run ``` > **Note** > During testing and developement, as a convenience, you can use the `local.sh` script to quickly rebuild local builds. ## 🙌 Contribute to Gradience ### Code Fork this repository, then create a push request when you're done adding features or fixing bugs. ### Localization You can help Gradience translate into your native language.
