## Installation
### From Flathub or AppCenter (Recommended)
You can install Pin It! from Flathub:

[](https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.ryonakano.pinit)

### From Source Code (Flatpak)
You'll need `flatpak` and `flatpak-builder` commands installed on your system.

Run `flatpak remote-add` to add Flathub remote for dependencies:

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

To build and install, use `flatpak-builder`, then execute with `flatpak run`:

```
flatpak-builder builddir --user --install --force-clean --install-deps-from=flathub build-aux/flathub/com.github.ryonakano.pinit.Devel.yml
flatpak run com.github.ryonakano.pinit.Devel
```

### From Source Code (Native)
You'll need the following dependencies to build:

* blueprint-compiler
* libadwaita-1-dev (>= 1.5.0)
* libgee-0.8-dev
* libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.74)
* libgranite-7-dev (>= 7.2.0, required only when you build with `granite` feature enabled)
* libgtk-4-dev (>= 4.10)
* meson (>= 0.58.0)
* valac

Run `meson setup` to configure the build environment and run `meson compile` to build:

```bash
meson setup builddir --prefix=/usr
meson compile -C builddir
