### First install all required dependencies and download the source code
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo apt install meson wayland-protocols wayland libpcre2-dev libjson-c-dev libpango-1.0-0 libcairo2-dev wget
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Next setup the build enviroment
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
mkdir ~/build
|
||
|
|
cd ~/build # Or whatever you have named it
|
||
|
|
# Downloading Wlroots
|
||
|
|
wget https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/archive/0.16.2/wlroots-0.16.2.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
tar -xf wlroots-0.16.2.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
rm wlroots-0.16.2.tar.gz

# Downloaing Swayfx
|
||
|
|
wget https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx/archive/refs/tags/0.3.2.tar.gz

|
|
tar -xf 0.3.2.tar.gz

meson setup build/
|
||
|
