<h1 id="installation"><a class="header" href="#installation">Installation</a></h1>
<p>The first step of using Ewwii is installing it. You would need to have the following prerequesties installed on your system to build/install ewwii.</p>
<p><strong>Prerequesties:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>rustc</li>
<li>cargo</li>
</ul>
<p>Rather than with your system package manager,
I <strong>strongly</strong> recommend installing it using <a href="https://rustup.rs/">rustup</a>.</p>
<p>Additionally, eww requires some dynamic libraries to be available on your system.
The exact names of the packages that provide these may differ depending on your distribution.
The following list of package names should work for arch linux:</p>
<details>
<summary><strong>Packages (click here)</strong></summary>
<ul>
<li>gtk3 (libgdk-3, libgtk-3)</li>
<li>gtk-layer-shell (only on Wayland)</li>
<li>pango (libpango)</li>
<li>gdk-pixbuf2 (libgdk_pixbuf-2)</li>
<li>libdbusmenu-gtk3</li>
<li>cairo (libcairo, libcairo-gobject)</li>
<li>glib2 (libgio, libglib-2, libgobject-2)</li>
<li>gcc-libs (libgcc)</li>
<li>glibc</li>
</ul>
</details>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Note</strong> that you will most likely need the -devel variants of your distro's packages to be able to compile ewwii.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="building"><a class="header" href="#building">Building</a></h2>
<p>Once you have the prerequisites ready, you're ready to install and build ewwii.</p>
<p>First clone the repo:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">git clone https://github.com/Ewwii-sh/ewwii
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="language-bash">cd ewwii
</code></pre>
<p>Then build:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">cargo build --release --no-default-features --features x11
</code></pre>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong>
When you're on Wayland, build with:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">cargo build --release --no-default-features --features=wayland
</code></pre>
<h2 id="running-ewwii"><a class="header" href="#running-ewwii">Running ewwii</a></h2>
<p>Once you've built it you can now run it by entering:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">cd target/release
</code></pre>
<p>Then make the Eww binary executable:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">chmod +x ./ewwii
</code></pre>
<p>Then to run it, enter:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">./ewwii daemon
./ewwii open &lt;window_name&gt;
</code></pre>
<h2 id="installing-via-package-managers"><a class="header" href="#installing-via-package-managers">Installing via package managers</a></h2>
<p>If you don't want to go through the <em>very</em> tedious task of cloning and building ewwii, you can install it using Cargo (Rust crate manager).</p>
<p>You can run the following command to install ewwii from cargo:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">cargo install --git https://github.com/Ewwii-sh/ewwii
</code></pre>
