# Apostrophe
## About
Apostrophe is a [GTK+](https://www.gtk.org) based distraction free Markdown editor, mainly developed by Wolf Vollprecht and Manuel Genovés. It uses pandoc as back-end for parsing Markdown and offers a very clean and sleek user interface.
## Install
Also several unofficial builds are available:
* Nix(OS): [`pkgs.apostrophe`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/editors/apostrophe/default.nix)
* Arch Linux (AUR)
* [Fedora](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/apostrophe): `sudo dnf install apostrophe`

Any help is appreciated!
## Building
### Building using GNOME Builder
GNOME Builder offers the easiest method to build Apostrophe. Just follow [this guide](https://wiki.gnome.org/Newcomers/BuildProject) and you'll be up and running in a minute.
### Building from Git
To build Apostrophe from source you need to have the following dependencies installed:
- Build system: `meson ninja-build`
- Pandoc, the program used to convert Markdown to basically anything else: `pandoc`
- GTK3 and GLib development packages: `libgtk-3-dev libglib2.0-dev`
- Rendering the preview panel: `libwebkit2gtk`
- Spell checking libraries: `gobject-introspection libgirepository1.0-dev gir1.2-gspell1 gettext`
- Python dependencies: `python3 python3-regex python3-setuptools python3-levenshtein python3-enchant python3-gi python3-cairo python3-pypandoc`
- *optional:* AppStream utility: `appstream-util`
- *optional:* pdftex module: `texlive texlive-latex-extra`
- *optional:* formula preview: `libjs-mathjax`
Depending on your setup you may need to install these schemas before building:
```bash
$ sudo cp data/org.gnome.gitlab.somas.Apostrophe.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.gitlab.somas.Apostrophe.gschema.xml
$ sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
```
Once all dependencies are installed you can build Apostrophe using the following commands:
```bash
$ git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/somas/apostrophe/
$ cd apostrophe
$ meson builddir --prefix=/usr -Dprofile=development
$ sudo ninja -C builddir install
```
Then you can run the installed package:
```bash
$ apostrophe
```
Or a local version which runs from the source tree
```bash
$ ./builddir/local-apostrophe
```
### Building a flatpak package
It's also possible to build, run and debug a flatpak package. All you need is to setup [flatpak-builder](https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/first-build.html) and run the following commands:
```bash
$ cd build-aux/flatpak
$ flatpak-builder --force-clean --install --user _build org.gnome.gitlab.somas.Apostrophe.json
```
