And finally, run it:

./build/tools/linux/sh/build.sh run_release

Polkit

kindd uses pkexec internally. For most Desktop environments, there is a pkexec agent already installed. Like these:

• xfce-polkit
• polkit-gnome
• pantheon-agent-polki
• mate-polkit
• polkit-kde-agent

But users of windows managers(like i3, dwm, awesome, ...) should install an agent. After installing a polkit-agent, paste these lines into your wm's config file.(For instance i3 keeps it's configs here: i3/config):

Arch users

exec /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &

Void users

exec --no-startup-id /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &

Hint: I don't have awesome or other windows managers. So you should change above lines according to your agent and your wm.
