## Installation of GNOME Keyring

Install GNOME Keyring by running the following commands:

    sed -i 's:"/desktop:"/org:' schema/*.xml &&

    mkdir build-gkr &&
    cd    build-gkr &&

    meson setup ..            \
          --prefix=/usr       \
          --buildtype=release \
          -D systemd=disabled &&
    ninja

A session bus address is necessary to run the tests. To test the results, issue: ninja test.

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

## Command Explanations

sed ... schema/*.xml: This command fixes a deprecated entry in the schema template.

`-D systemd=disabled`: This switch prevents a failure due to the build system requiring systemd by default.
