| # Getting meson |
| |
| ## Downloading Meson |
| |
| Meson releases can be downloaded from the [GitHub release page]. |
| |
| Meson is also available in the [Python Package Index] and can be |
| installed with `pip3 install meson`. |
| |
| The newest development code can be obtained directly from [Git] |
| |
| ## Dependencies |
| |
| Meson is implemented in Python 3. If your operating system provides a |
| package manager, you should install it with that. For platforms that |
| don't have a package manager, you need to download it from [Python's |
| home page]. |
| |
| Depending on your platform and backend you wish to use, you might need |
| the [Ninja executable]. Again, use your distro-provided version if |
| possible. Otherwise download it from Ninja project's web site. |
