Troubleshooting

Flatpak installation doesn't follow the system Gtk theme

In order to apply a different theme when using Flatpak, run

flatpak override --filesystem=/usr/share/themes/
flatpak override --env GTK_THEME=Adwaita-dark

You can replace Adwaita-dark with the name of any other Gtk theme you have installed.

If you don't use Flatpak, the correct Gtk Theme should be applied automatically.

Build dependencies

• rust
• cargo
• pkg-config
• libgtk-4-dev or gtk4-devel (name depends on the distro)

Building

Building with meson

meson --prefix="/usr" _build
ninja -C _build
sudo ninja -C _build install

Building with Docker

sudo docker build --no-cache . -t lemoa:latest
CONTAINER_ID=$(sudo docker create --name lemoa -t lemoa:latest)
sudo docker cp $(CONTAINER_ID):/root/lemoa/target/release/lemoa .

Once the build is done, there will be an executable lemoa binary file in your current directory, executing it starts Lemoa 🎉.

Building the binary only

Not recommended: To only install the binary (can only be started with the terminal), run

cargo install --git https://github.com/lemmygtk/lemoa.git

You can then start the app via the terminal after adding cargo's bin directory to your PATH variable.

Development

Clone the repository and run

cargo run
