sh
sudo dnf install meson gcc gtk3-devel libdbusmenu-gtk3 gobject-introspection-devel

- clone repo
sh
git clone https://github.com/aylur/astal.git
cd astal/lib/tray
- install
sh
meson setup build
meson install -C build

Most distros recommend manual installs in /usr/local
, which is what meson
defaults to. If you want to install to /usr
instead which most package managers do, set the prefix
option:
sh
meson setup --prefix /usr build
