zathura is a highly customizable and functional document viewer based on the girara user interface library and several document libraries.
The following dependencies are required:
gtk3
(>= 3.24)glib
(>= 2.72)girara
(>= 0.4.3)libmagic
from file(1): for mime-type detectionjson-glib
sqlite3
(>= 3.6.23): sqlite3 database backend
The following dependencies are optional:
libsynctex
from TeXLive (>= 1.19): SyncTeX supportlibseccomp
: sandbox support
For building zathura, the following dependencies are also required:
meson
(>= 0.61)gettext
pkgconf
The following dependencies are optional build-time only dependencies:
librvsg-bin
: PNG iconsSphinx
: manpages and HTML documentationdoxygen
: HTML documentationbreathe
: for HTML documentationsphinx_rtd_theme
: for HTML documentation
Note that Sphinx
is needed to build the manpages. If it is not installed, the
man pages won't be built. For building the HTML documentation, doxygen
,
breathe
and sphinx_rtd_theme
are needed in addition to Sphinx
.
The use of libseccomp
and/or landlock
to create a sandboxed environment is
optional and can be disabled by configure the build system with
-Dseccomp=disabled
and -Dlandlock=disabled
. The sandboxed version of zathura
will be built into a separate binary named zathura-sandbox
. Strict sandbox
mode will reduce the available functionality of zathura and provide a read only
document viewer.
To build and install zathura using meson's ninja backend:
meson build
cd build
ninja
ninja install
Note that the default backend for meson might vary based on the platform. Please refer to the meson documentation for platform specific dependencies.
