There are several ways to install Gyre.

First clone this repository with GNOME Builder. Then hit the play button and it will automatically install and compile all dependencies for you. Afterwards you can export a Flatpak bundle to install Gyre on your machine.

The following commands will clone this repository and install Gyre (system-wide by default). Please note that there's currently no automatic way to uninstall the program. You can run ninja uninstall within the build directory, but some files won't be removed, because they were generated by external commands (e.g. glib-compile-schemas). These files have to be deleted manually.

git clone https://github.com/HelpSeeker/Gyre.git
cd Gyre
meson . _build
cd _build
meson configure -Dprefix=<custom location>  # optional step
ninja install

The 4th step is optional and allows you to specify a custom install location. Depending on the location GLib might not be able to find the GSettings schema, which is required to run Gyre. If that is the case, you have to manually point it to the schema

GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=<custom location>/share/glib-2.0/schemas <custom location>/bin/gyre

• meson >= 0.50
• GTK >= 3.24
• libhandy >= 1.0.0
• Python >= 3.7
• aiohttp
• FFmpeg

Most likely you deleted the directory at one point and created a new one with the same name. With normal file system access this wouldn't be a problem, but the Flatpak version requests access via XDG Portal and in that case the new directory is different from the old one, even if they share the same name.

Choose the directory when prompted and export the profile again to update the output location to the new version.

Gyre tries to open the log with the default text editor. That doesn't work when running inside the Flatpak sandbox, so the error log will always be displayed by the internal viewer.

Gyre is mobile-ready thanks to libhandy, but there are issues with GTK 3, which require additional patches to make it work correctly on mobile. Mobile distros apply these patches, but they don't affect Flatpaks. I'm still looking for a solution to this problem (maybe an additional Flatpak with the patches applied?), but until then you are better off running Gyre locally.

It is my goal to bring Gyre to Windows, but GTK and other GNOME technologies make it difficult to provide portable builds.

Support is very alpha, but you can still install Gyre by following these steps:

1. Install msys2
2. Run mingw64 in the command prompt, Powershell, etc.

Switch to the mingw64 terminal and continue...

3. pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3 mingw-w64-x86_64-python-aiohttp mingw-w64-x86_64-python-gobject mingw-w64-x86_64-meson mingw-w64-x86_64-pkgconf mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-libhandy mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg
4. Download or clone the repository
5. cd into the project folder
6. meson build .
7. cd build
8. ninja install
9. gyre

Once you have successfully installed Gyre, you can create a shortcut that points to the following command

msys2_shell.cmd -mingw64 -lc gyre

to open Gyre without having to start up a terminal. Depending on your setup you can also add -defterm (i.e. use the default terminal) to the command to speed up the launch.
