Astal

Appearance

Network ​

Wrapper library over networkmanager to better integrate with Astal.

Installation ​

  1. install dependencies
sh
sudo pacman -Syu meson vala libnm gobject-introspection
sh
sudo dnf install meson gcc valac NetworkManager-libnm-devel gobject-introspection-devel
sh
sudo apt install meson valac libnm-dev gobject-introspection
  1. clone repo
sh
git clone https://github.com/aylur/astal.git
cd astal/lib/network
  1. install
sh
meson setup build
meson install -C build

TIP

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

Usage ​

You can browse the Network reference.

CLI ​

There is no CLI for this library, use the one provided by networkmanager.

sh
nmcli --help
