Installation from Flatpak

The Flatpak package includes all required dependencies and codecs. Additionally it also has a few patches, thus some functionalities work better (or are only available) in Flatpak version (until my changes are accepted upstream). List of patches used in this version can be found here.

Packages in Linux Distributions

Pre-built RPM packages are also available in my repo (see status).
Those are automatically built on each git commit, thus are considered unstable.

Installation from Source Code

meson builddir --prefix=/usr/local
sudo meson install -C builddir

Translations

Preferred translation method is to use Clapper Crowdin web page.

Crowdin does not require any additional tools and translating can be done through web browser. You can login using GitHub account or create a new one. Only I can add new languages to this project, so if your language is not available, please contact me first.
