2 months ago I usually just compile it using Gnome Builder, that or I'd use flatpak-builder, I think there are some people that are installing Alpaca manually to the system without Flatpak, but honestly I have no idea how they do it, I only know how to package Flatpaks
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Maybe my suggestion is nonsensical, but wouldn't it make sense to add a “howto build” instruction to the README.MD?
Context: As a complete amateur when it comes to the Python ( GUI / Gtk ) and Linux (Flatpak) ecosystem, I was not able to build the application after cloning the project.
It may be that this option is not desired. Nevertheless, I wanted to test some code changes in the *.py files, but if I am not able (due to lack of knowledge) to run the program afterwards, it is a bit frustrating.
Maybe it is also due to my environment - Fedora Workstation 40 GNOME - all necessary dependencies would be installed (python, pip, meson, ninja etc)
Describe the solution you'd like Add instructions to README.MD
