  1. clone repo
sh
git clone https://github.com/aylur/astal.git
cd astal/lib/wireplumber
  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 Wireplumber reference.

CLI

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