See https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:Cogitri/Tau for the source files of the packages. \n\n### Arch Linux\n\nYou can install binary releases of tau by adding this to your `/etc/pacman.conf`:\n\n```sh\n[home_Cogitri_Arch_Community_standard]\nSigLevel = Never\nServer = https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Cogitri/Arch_Community_standard/$arch\n```\n\nAfterwards run `pacman -Syu tau-editor`. Alternatively you can install Tau as `tau-editor-git` from the AUR [as per standard procedure](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository).\n\n### Void Linux\n\n```sh\nxbps-install -Syu tau\n```\n\n### Alpine Linux\n```\napk add tau\n```\n\n### Flatpak\n\nSee the instructions on https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Tau\n\n## Contributing\n\nClone the repo and its submodules:\n\n```sh\ngit clone --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/tau\n```\n\nYou need the following dependencies installed:\n\n\t* Cairo \u003e= 1.16\n\t* GDK-Pixbuf-2.0\n\t* GLib-2.0 \u003e= 2.36\n\t* GTK+3 \u003e= 3.20\n\t* Pango \u003e= 1.38\n\t* Rust \u003e= 1.36 # required for one of our deps\n\nOn Ubuntu (\u003e=19.10) you can install them with:\n```sh\nsudo apt install meson ninja-build libglib2.0-dev librust-cairo-sys-rs-dev librust-pangocairo-sys-dev librust-gtk+v3-24-dev libhandy-0.0-dev appstream-util libvte-2.91-dev gettext\n```\n\nYou can enable optional functionality with the `libhandy` meson switch,\nlike a more compact settings menu. You need the following dependencies\ninstalled for that:\n\n\t* libhandy \u003e= 0.10\n\t* GTK+3 \u003e= 3.24.1\n\nNow installing Tau should be as easy as doing:\n\n\n```sh\nmeson --prefix=/usr/local -Dprofile=development build\nninja -C build\nsudo ninja -C build install\n```\n\nDuring development you can quickly test Tau with the following command:\n\n```sh\nninja -C build run\n```\n\nYou can run tests with:\n\n```sh\nninja -C build test\n```\n\nBut be mindful that those currently require the source-code-pro font to be installed.\n\n### Docs\n\nPlease see the documentation in Tau's source files for further information as to\nhow Tau works.\n[gtk-rs' site](https://gtk-rs.org/) offers documentation and examples about how gtk-rs works.\n\n### Translating\n\nVisit [GNOME's Damned Lies Platform](https://l10n.gnome.org/module/tau/) to translate Tau.\n\n\n### Installation on Windows\n\nThe following should give you a usable Tau binary:\n\n0) Install Rust by visiting https://rustup.rs. After running the exe press `2` (right after you see the terminal of rustup-init.exe) to customize the settings and enter `x86_64-pc-windows-gnu` as default triplet (notice the `gnu` instead of `msvc`)\n1) Go to https://www.msys2.org/ and download the appropriate installer (usually x86_64)\n2) Go into your start menu and open the MSYS terminal\n3) Enter `pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3 git` in the terminal\n4) Open the `MinGW64` terminal from your start menu. Do `echo 'PATH=\"/c/Users/${USER}/.cargo/bin:${PATH}\"' \u003e\u003e .bash_profile`\n5) Reload the just made changes with `source .bash_profile`. Then clone Tau: `git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/tau`.\n6) `cd tau \u0026\u0026 cargo run` \u003c- This should produce a debug build for you and run it.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Rust"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FCogitri%2FTau","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FCogitri%2FTau","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FCogitri%2FTau/lists"}
