## Download
* **[Get Pragtical]** — Download Pre-built releases for Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
* **[Get Plugins]** — Add additional functionality.
* **[Get Color Themes]** — Additional color themes (bundled with all releases
of Pragtical by default).
A list of changes is registered on the [changelog] file. Please refer to our
[website] for the user and developer [documentation], including more detailed
[build] instructions.
## Quick Build Guide
1. Clone this repository
```sh
git clone https://github.com/pragtical/pragtical
```
2. Setup and compile the project
```sh
meson setup --wrap-mode=forcefallback -Dportable=true build
meson compile -C build
```
> [!NOTE]
> We set `--wrap-mode` to forcefallback to download and build all the dependencies
> which will take longer. If you have all dependencies installed on your system
> you can skip this flag. Also notice we set the `portable` flag to true, this
> way the install process will generate a directory structure that is easily
> relocatable.
3. Install and profit!
```sh
meson install -C build --destdir ../pragtical
```
You will now see a new directory called `pragtical` that will contain the
executable and all the necessary files to run the editor. Feel free to move or
rename this directory however you wish.

## Contributing
Pull requests to improve or modify the editor itself are welcome.
Additional functionality can be added through a plugin by sending a
pull request to the [plugins repository]. If you think the functionality should
be added to the core editor open an issue so we can discuss it.
