## Installation
### Using Flatpak

This method can be used anywhere the Nix package manager is installed.
### Using distro-specific packages
Right now, Wordbook is only packaged for Arch through the AUR as [`wordbook`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wordbook).
On NixOS, Wordbook can be installed using the Nix package manager as shown above. Additionally, the following code can be added to your NixOS configuration file, usually located in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`.
```
environment.systemPackages = [
pkgs.wordbook
];
```
### From Source
To install, first make sure of the dependencies as listed above. You can use `just` to make the process easy.
```bash
just setup
just install
```
Without `just`:
```bash
mkdir -p _build
meson setup . _build
ninja -C _build install
```
For a local build with debugging enabled:
```bash
just run
# OR
just setup
just develop-configure
just local-run
```
