+# Cava
+
+Audio visualizer using [cava](https://github.com/karlstav/cava).
+
+## Installation
+
+1. install dependencies
+
+Note that it requires [libcava](https://github.com/LukashonakV/cava), a fork of cava, which provides cava as a shared library.
+
+:::code-group
+
+```sh [<i class="devicon-archlinux-plain"></i> Arch]
+sudo pacman -Syu meson vala gobject-introspection
+paru -S libcava
+```
+
+```sh [<i class="devicon-fedora-plain"></i> Fedora]
+# Not yet documented
+```
+
+```sh [<i class="devicon-ubuntu-plain"></i> Ubuntu]
+# Not yet documented
+```
+
+:::
+
+2. clone repo
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/aylur/astal.git
+cd astal/lib/cava
+```
+
+3. install
+
+```sh
+meson setup build
+meson install -C build
+```
+
+:::tip
+Most distros recommend manual installs in `/usr/local`,
+which is what `meson` defaults to. If you want to install to `/usr`
+instead which most package managers do, set the `prefix` option:
+
+```sh
+meson setup --prefix /usr build
+```
+
+:::
+
