## 🐧 Arch Linux Users

You can install this directly from the AUR using your favorite AUR helper:

```bash
yay -S linux-wallpaperengine-git
```

> This installs the latest development version.

### Build from Source

Clone the repo:

```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Almamu/linux-wallpaperengine.git
cd linux-wallpaperengine
```

Build it:

```bash
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
```

Once the build process is finished, this should create a new `output` folder containing the app and all the required
support files to run.

> ✅ Remember: Place the `assets` folder next to the built binary if it isn’t detected automatically.
