# Network
Wrapper library over [networkmanager](https://networkmanager.dev/) to better integrate with Astal.
## Installation
1. install dependencies
:::code-group
```sh [ Arch]
sudo pacman -Syu meson vala networkmanager gobject-introspection
```
```sh [ Fedora]
sudo dnf install meson gcc valac NetworkManager gobject-introspection-devel
```
```sh [ Ubuntu]
sudo apt install meson valac network-manager-dev gobject-introspection
```
:::
2. clone repo
```sh
git clone https://github.com/aylur/astal.git
cd astal/lib/network
```
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
```
