$ cd ThiefMD
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update --remote --recursive
$ meson build && cd build
$ ninja
$ sudo ninja install

Prebuilt packages are available.

Building and Running the Tests

By default the code is built without tests. To compile the test suite the project has to be told to do so by setting the meson variable build_tests.

After that they can be built and run by ninja:

$ meson configure -Dbuild_tests=true build
$ cd build && ninja && ninja tests
