Clone the repository and navigate to the project folder.  \n2. Install with:  \n   ```bash\n   sudo make install\n   ```\n3. Restart Nautilus to apply changes:  \n   ```bash\n   nautilus -q \u0026\u0026 nautilus\n   ```\n\nYou're good to go! 🎉  \n\n---\n\n## ❌ **Uninstalling**  \n\nWant to remove `mdview`? No problem!  \nSimply run:  \n```bash\nsudo make uninstall\n```\n\n---\n\n## ⚙️ **Temporary File Handling**\n\nWhen Markdown files are converted to HTML, they are saved as a temporary file in `/tmp`. As a result, refreshing the browser does not reflect any changes made to the Markdown file. To view updates, close the browser tab and reopen the Markdown file.\n\n---\n\n## 🏗️ **Building Debian Package**\n\nIf you wish to build a Debian package, follow these steps:\n\n1. **Ensure the `rules` file is executable**:  \n   ```bash\n   sudo chmod +x debian/rules\n   ```\n\n2. **Build the package**:  \n   - Without signing:  \n     ```bash\n     sudo dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us\n     ```\n   - With signing (replace `\u003cKEY_ID\u003e` with your GPG key ID):  \n     ```bash\n     sudo dpkg-buildpackage -k\u003cKEY_ID\u003e\n     ```\n     *To list your GPG keys, use `gpg --list-keys`.*\n\n3. **Cleanup build files**:  \n   After building the package, remove temporary files with:  \n   ```bash\n   sudo debclean\n   ```\n   *This ensures your workspace is clean and free of leftover build artifacts.*\n\n### Notes:\n- Ensure you use `sudo` for all commands.\n- Your newly created package files will be in the parent directory.\n\n---\n\n### 📜 **License**  \n`mdview` is open-source software, licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE).
