## About

Any help is appreciated!

## Building from Git

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/Apostrophe/apostrophe.git
$ cd apostrophe
$ meson builddir --prefix=/usr
# sudo ninja -C builddir install
```

To use apostrophe, please make sure you have some dependencies installed:

- Pandoc, the program used to convert Markdown to basically anything else (the package name should be pandoc in most distributions)
- Of course, gtk3 etc. needs to be installed as well since this is a gtk application
- webkit2gtk is also needed for the preview panel
- Please find these packages on your distribution: `python3 python3-regex python3-setuptools python3-levenshtein python3-enchant python3-gi python3-cairo`
- Optional dependencies are `texlive` for the pdftex module.

### Running it without installing it

You can run Apostrophe with `./apostrophe.in` without installing it in the system,
but you'll need to install and compile the schemas before:

```bash
# sudo cp data/de.wolfvollprecht.UberWriter.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/de.wolfvollprecht.UberWriter.gschema.xml
# sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
```

### Building a flatpak package

It's also possible to build, run and debug a flatpak package. You'll need flatpak-builder for this:

```bash
$ cd build-aux/flatpak
$ flatpak-builder --force-clean --install --user _build de.wolfvollprecht.UberWriter.json
```
