# Apps
|
|
|
|
Library and CLI tool for querying and launching
|
|
applications that have a corresponding `.desktop` file.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. install dependencies
|
|
|
|
:::code-group
|
|
|
|
```sh [<i class="devicon-archlinux-plain"></i> Arch]
|
|
sudo pacman -Syu meson vala json-glib gobject-introspection
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh [<i class="devicon-fedora-plain"></i> Fedora]
|
|
sudo dnf install meson gcc valac json-glib-devel gobject-introspection-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh [<i class="devicon-ubuntu-plain"></i> Ubuntu]
|
|
sudo apt install meson valac libjson-glib-dev gobject-introspection
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
2. clone repo
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/aylur/astal.git
|
|
cd astal/lib/apps
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. install
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
meson setup build
|
|
meson install -C build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
Most distros recommend manual installs in `/usr/local`,
|
|
which is what `meson` defaults to. If you want to install to `/usr`
|
|
instead which most package managers do, set the `prefix` option:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
meson setup --prefix /usr build
|
|
```
|
|

:::info
|
|
The fuzzy query uses [Levenshtein distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance). I am not a mathematician, but if you know how to reimplement
|
|
the logic of [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) to make it better feel free to open PRs.
