## Installation of Epiphany

Install Epiphany by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    meson --prefix=/usr .. &&
    ninja

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

### Note

If you installed the package to your system using a “DESTDIR” method, `/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled` was not updated/created. Create (or update) the file using the following command as the `root` user:

    glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

One test would fail if this package is not installed, so it's better to run the test suite after installation. To test the results, issue ninja test. The tests must be run from a graphical session.
