Cloning

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Firstbober/wapanel.git

Compiling and installation

mkdir build
cd build
meson .. # "meson .. -Dbuildtype=release" for release build

If you want to not build some applets then use toggle -Dname=false. List of them is in meson_options.txt e.g. -Dactivator=false. This will disable building of an activator applet.
