Install

Pre-built binary

• See Releases section.

Archlinux User Repository (AUR)

• Run git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/tparted-bin.git, then enter tparted-bin directory and run makepkg -si
• Alternatively you can use an AUR helper, like paru -S tparted-bin or yay -S tparted-bin

Building from source

• Since the app requires Unicode version of Free Vision, you need to have Free Pascal 3.1.1 or later installed on the system.
• Run make build to build the app. The binary is located in ./bin directory.
• Run make install to install the app to /usr/bin

Translation

• The app is capable of loading translation files in .mo format. Simply translate the default en_US.po file to your language of choice, convert it to the .mo format via msgfmt tool, then place the converted file into the ./bin/locale directory.
• The app depends on the LANG environment variable to determine the language. For example, the app will try to load ja_JP.mo or ja.mo if LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8.
