## Developing and Building

If you want to hack on and build PDF Tricks yourself, you'll need the following dependencies:

* libgtk-3-dev

* libgranite-dev

* meson

* valac

* ghostscript

Run `meson build` to configure the build environment and run `ninja test` to build and run automated tests

    meson build --prefix=/usr

    cd build

    ninja test

To install, use `ninja install`, then execute with `com.github.muriloventuroso.pdftricks`

    sudo ninja install

    com.github.muriloventuroso.pdftricks

## ImageMagick

In recent versions of ImageMagick has been added a security policy that blocks manipulations in PDF files. This affects PDFTricks operations. To correct this change the settings of your ImageMagick installation.

Find and edit the configuration file.

    /etc/ImageMagick-7/policy.xml

To check the ImageMagick version:

    convert --version

Find the line that contains the rule for PDF files:

    

And change to:

    

And ready!
