## Instructions

You need to have the Rust compiler installed.  I recommend using [rustup](https://rustup.rs/).

### Installing dependencies on Debian/Ubuntu

```sh

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev

```

### Installing dependencies on Redhat

```sh

sudo yum install gtk3-devel

```

### Enabling the syntect syntax highlighting plugin

Running these commands will put the syntect plugin into your `~/.config/xi/plugins` directory.

```sh

git clone https://github.com/google/xi-editor/

cd xi-editor/rust/syntect-plugin/

make install

```

### Running gxi

```sh

git clone https://github.com/bvinc/gxi.git

cd gxi

cargo run

```
