# Developers setup
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
Diffuse depends on these projects:
|
|
|
|
* Python 3.8+
|
|
* PyPi
|
|
* Cairo and GObject Introspection development headers
|
|
* Meson
|
|
* Flatpak and Flatpak builder (Linux only)
|
|
|
|
## Install the dependencies
|
|
|
|
### Install the system dependencies
|
|
|
|
It's a bit difficult to get the command lines for all the systems, but these
|
|
examples should be enough to find the packages on most systems.
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>Debian/Ubuntu</summary>
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apt install python3-pip libcairo2-dev libgirepository1.0-dev meson flatpak flatpak-builder
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_Note: Tested on Debian 11 (Buster) and Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal)_
|
|
</details>
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>Fedora</summary>
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo dnf install python-pip cairo-devel cairo-gobject-devel meson flatpak flatpak-builder
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_Note: Tested on Fedora 36_
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>macOS</summary>
|
|
|
|
On Mac, all dependencies can be installed using [Homebrew](https://docs.brew.sh/):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
brew install meson python3 py3cairo pygobject3 gtk+3 librsvg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_Note: Tested on macOS 12.5 (Monterey)_
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
### Install the project dependencies
|
|
|
|
To install the requirements just to execute the binary, run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For developer tools, run this one instead (it includes requirements.txt):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pip3 install -r requirements.dev.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
### Setup on Linux using Flatpak
|
|
|
|
#### Build, test and install
|
|
|
|
To build, test and install Diffuse locally:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
flatpak install runtime/org.gnome.Sdk/$(uname -p)/44
|
|
flatpak-builder --user --install build-flatpak io.github.mightycreak.Diffuse.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Run
|
|
|
|
To run Diffuse through Flatpak:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
flatpak run io.github.mightycreak.Diffuse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Uninstall
|
|
|
|
To uninstall Diffuse:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
flatpak remove io.github.mightycreak.Diffuse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Setup on Linux using Meson
|
|
|
|
#### Build and test
|
|
|
|
Diffuse is using Meson as its build system.
|
|
|
|
To build and test Diffuse:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
meson setup build
|
|
cd build
|
|
meson compile
|
|
meson test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Install on system and run
|
|
|
|
To install Diffuse on your system (e.g. `/usr/local/`):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
meson install # requires admin privileges
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run Diffuse:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
diffuse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Install in a custom directory and run
|
|
|
|
Meson allows to change the default installation directories, see
|
|
[command-line documentation](https://mesonbuild.com/Commands.html#configure).
|
|
|
|
To install Diffuse in a custom directory (e.g. `~/bin/diffuse`):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
meson install --destdir ~/bin/diffuse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run Diffuse:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/bin/diffuse/usr/local/share/diffuse
|
|
cd ~/bin/diffuse/usr/local/bin
|
|
./diffuse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Uninstall
|
|
|
|
To uninstall Diffuse afterwards:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo ninja uninstall -C build
|
|
sudo rm -v /usr/local/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/diffuse.mo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Setup on macOS
|
|
|
|
#### Build and test
|
|
|
|
Diffuse is using Meson as its build system, this is the only supported system
|
|
on macOS.
|
|
|
|
To build and test Diffuse:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
meson setup build
|
|
cd build
|
|
meson compile
|
|
meson test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Install on system and run
|
|
|
|
To install Diffuse on your system (e.g. `/Applications/` and `/opt/homebrew/`
|
|
or `/usr/local/`):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
meson install # requires admin privileges
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run Diffuse:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
diffuse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_Note: The `diffuse` command can be used to launch Diffuse as a native Mac app_
|
|
_that is installed into `/Applications/Diffuse.app`._
|
|
|
|
### Setup on Windows (deprecated)
|
|
|
|
_Note:_ The Windows port is not maintained and would need some love.
|
|
Contributions are very welcome! 😉
|
|
|
|
The `windows-installer` directory contains scripts for building an installable
|
|
package for Windows that includes all dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Diffuse can be packaged as a portable application by copying the installation
|
|
directory to a pen drive and creating a front end that sets the
|
|
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and `XDG_DATA_DIR` environment variables prior to launching
|
|
Diffuse. The `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and `XDG_DATA_DIR` environment variables
|
|
indicate where Diffuse should store persistent settings (eg. the path to a
|
|
writable directory on the pen drive).
