Another goal was to be as independent\nas possible from a special Desktop Environment like KDE or GNOME. So it\nis using only the GTK+ toolkit and therefore you need only the\nGTK+ runtime libraries to run Geany.\n\n.. image:: doc/images/main_window.png\n  :width: 750\n  :alt: Screenshot of Geany showing the main user interface\n  :target: doc/images/main_window.png\n\n\nFeatures\n--------\nThe basic features of Geany are:\n\n- syntax highlighting\n- code completion\n- auto completion of often used constructs like if, for and while\n- auto completion of XML and HTML tags\n- call tips\n- folding\n- many supported filetypes like C, Java, PHP, HTML, Python, Perl, Pascal\n- symbol lists\n- embedded terminal emulation\n- extensibility through plugins\n\n\nInstallation from distribution packages\n---------------------------------------\nUsing distribution packages on Linux, BSD and similar distributions\nis the easiest and recommended way. This way you will also benefit\nfrom automatic Geany updates by the package manager of the distribution.\n\nPackages are available for most distributions including Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu\nand many more.\n\n\nInstallation on Mac OS and Windows\n----------------------------------\nPrebuilt binary packages for Mac OS and Windows can be found on\nhttps://www.geany.org.\n\n\nInstallation from sources\n-------------------------\n\nRequirements\n++++++++++++\nFor compiling Geany yourself, you will need the GTK3 libraries and \nheader files. You will also need its dependency libraries and header \nfiles, such as Pango, Glib and ATK. All these files are available at \nhttps://www.gtk.org.\n\nFurthermore you need, of course, a C compiler and the Make tool; a C++\ncompiler is also needed for the required Scintilla library included. The\nGNU versions of these tools are recommended.\n\n\nTo build the user manual you need *rst2html* from Docutils. A pre-built\nversion of the manual is available in distribution tarballs and will be used as\nfallback if *rst2html* is missing. When building from Git however, that\npre-built version is not included and *rst2html* is required by default.\nYou can explicitly disable building the user manual using the\n``--disable-html-docs`` *configure* flag, but this will result in not\ninstalling a local version of the user manual, and Geany will then try\nand open the online version instead when requested.\n\n\n.. note::\n    Building Geany from source on Mac OS and Windows is more complicated\n    and is out of scope of this document. For more information on\n    building instructions for these platforms, please check the wiki\n    at https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/.\n\nInstalling from a Git clone\n+++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n\nUsing the Meson build system\n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n\nN.B. Meson support is still incomplete and a work-in-progress.\n\nMeson requires to chose a separate build directory. Either create\none, or let meson do it:\n\n``meson build`` or ``mkdir build; cd build; meson ..``\n\nEither command will configure the build system. The system is probed\nin many ways and system-dependant build files are created. This includes\nlocation of dependencies and compiler and linker flags required for them.\n\nTo build Geany, follow with a ``meson compile -C build``\n\nTo install Geany, follow the build with a ``sudo meson install -C build``.\n\nBy default, meson will install Geany to ``/usr/local``. A different\nprefix can be selected at the initial command or via reconfiguration:\n\n``meson --prefix /opt build`` or ``meson configure --prefix /opt build``\n\nGeany has some selectable features that may reduce the required\nbuild and runtime dependencies. See meson_optionts.txt for a full list.\n\nTo turn a feature off, use ``-D\u003cfeature\u003e=false`` when configuring the build,\nfor example: ``meson configure -Dvte=false build``\n\nUsing Autotools\n+++++++++++++++\n\nInstall Autotools (*autopoint*, *automake*, *autoconf* and *libtool*),\n*gettext*, and the GLib development files **before** running any of the\nfollowing commands, as well as *rst2html* from Docutils (see above for\ndetails). Then, run ``./autogen.sh`` and then follow the instructions for\n`installing from a release tarball`_.\n\nInstalling from a release tarball\n+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n\nRun the the following three commands::\n\n    $ ./configure\n    $ make\n    (as root, or using sudo)\n    % make install\n\nFor more configuration details run ``./configure --help``.\n\nIf there are any errors during compilation, check your build environment\nand try to find the error, otherwise contact the mailing list or one of\nthe authors.\n\nSee the manual for details (geany.txt/geany.html).\n\n\nUsage\n-----\nTo run Geany just type::\n\n    $ geany\n\non a console or use the applications menu from your desktop environment.\nFor command line options, see the manual page of Geany or run::\n\n    $ geany --help\n\nfor details. Or look into the documentation in the *doc/* directory.\nThe most important option probably is ``-c`` or ``--config``, where you can\nspecify an alternate configuration directory.\n\n\nLicense\n-------\nGeany is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License\nas published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the\nLicense, or (at your option) any later version.
