### Build the fonts

1. Clone the repository and open the CLI from that directory or go there with `cd path/to/local/repo` (you can also drap and drop the directory directly in the CLI)

2. Create a virtual environment in the project directory to install the required python package:

    

    `python3 -m venv env`

3. Activate the virtual environment:

    

    `source env/bin/activate`

4. Install `gftools`:

    

    `pip install gftools`

5. Now you can build the font:

    

    From the sources directory: `cd sources`

    

    Use gftools builder: `gftools builder config.yaml`
