## Installation of Nautilus

Install Nautilus by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    meson setup --prefix=/usr       \
                --buildtype=release \
                ..                  &&

    ninja

If you have Gi-DocGen-2025.3 installed and you wish to generate and install the API documentation, issue the following commands:

    sed "/docdir =/s@\$@ / 'nautilus-47.2'@" -i ../meson.build &&
    meson configure -D docs=true &&
    ninja

To test the results, issue: ninja test. The tests need to be run in a graphical environment. One test is known to fail if localsearch-3.8.2 is not installed. One test is also known to timeout if the user running the tests has a large home directory.

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

### Note

If you installed the package to your system using a “DESTDIR” method, `/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled` was not updated/created. Create (or update) the file using the following command as the `root` user:

    glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

## Command Explanations

`--buildtype=release`: Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may produce unoptimized binaries.

`-D cloudproviders=false`: Use this switch if you do not have libcloudproviders-0.3.6 installed.
