zathura is a highly customizable and functional document viewer based on thegirara user interface library and several document libraries.

The following dependencies are required:

• gtk3 (>= 3.24)
• glib (>= 2.72)
• girara (>= 0.4.3)
• libmagic from file(1): for mime-type detection
• json-glib
• sqlite3 (>= 3.6.23): sqlite3 database backend

The following dependencies are optional:

• libsynctex from TeXLive (>= 1.19): SyncTeX support
• libseccomp: sandbox support

For building zathura, the following dependencies are also required:

• meson (>= 0.61)
• gettext
• pkgconf

The following dependencies are optional build-time only dependencies:

• librvsg-bin: PNG icons
• Sphinx: manpages and HTML documentation
• doxygen: HTML documentation
• breathe: for HTML documentation
• sphinx_rtd_theme: for HTML documentation

Note thatSphinx is needed to build the manpages. If it is not installed, theman pages won't be built. For building the HTML documentation,doxygen,breathe andsphinx_rtd_theme are needed in addition toSphinx.

The use oflibseccomp and/orlandlock to create a sandboxed environment isoptional and can be disabled by configure the build system with-Dseccomp=disabled and-Dlandlock=disabled. The sandboxed version of zathurawill be built into a separate binary namedzathura-sandbox. Strict sandboxmode will reduce the available functionality of zathura and provide a read onlydocument viewer.

To build and install zathura using meson's ninja backend:

meson buildcd buildninjaninja install

Note that the default backend for meson might vary based on the platform. Pleaserefer to the meson documentation for platform specific dependencies.
