### GNOME System Monitor Dependencies

#### Required

adwaita-icon-theme-50.0, Gtkmm-4.22.0, itstool-2.0.7, libgtop-2.41.3, libadwaita-1.9.0, and librsvg-2.62.1

#### Optional

appstream-glib-0.8.3, desktop-file-utils-0.28, Catch2, and uncrustify

## Installation of GNOME System Monitor

First, remove a hard dependency on Catch2, which is only used if you are running the unit tests:

    find . -name meson.build | xargs sed -i -e '/catch2/d' &&
    sed -i '141,151d' src/meson.build

Install GNOME System Monitor by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. &&
    ninja

This package comes with a test suite, but it requires the external Catch2 dependency. If you have Catch2 installed, you can omit the seds above and then run the tests with ninja test.

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install
