Prebuilt binaries are not available for now as the project is in the early development phase. Consider building it from source.
To build the project, you must have stable rust v1.69.0+ installed (plus dependencies). Once you have all the necessary things installed, you can clone the source code and start to build it.
$ git clone https://github.com/PrajwalCH/launchthing
$ cd launchthing
$ cargo build --release
$ cargo runThe only dependency you need is GTK4 library which you can install from the package manager provided by your Linux distro.
sudo apt install libgtk-4-dev build-essentialsudo pacman -S gtk4 base-develsudo dnf install gtk4-devel gcc
