## Installation of GNOME Settings Daemon

First, fix building with recent versions of meson:

    sed "/  policy,/d" -i plugins/{power,wacom}/meson.build

Install GNOME Settings Daemon by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

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

To check the results, execute: ninja test. Note that you must have python-dbusmock installed in order for the tests to complete successfully. Some tests may fail depending on the init system in use.

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

## Command Explanations
