## Instructions

We recommend to use flatpak-builder for building xi-gtk.

To get started, make sure you have flatpak-builder installed and the flathub repo configured correctly.

```sh

# add the flathub repo

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

```

Once you are ready, you can build and install xi-gtk with a single command.

```sh

flatpak-builder --from-git=https://github.com/eyelash/xi-gtk.git --install-deps-from=flathub --install ~/.xi-gtk-build flatpak.json

```

Finally, you can run xi-gtk.

```sh

flatpak run com.github.eyelash.xi-gtk

```
