## Building
### GNOME Builder
GNOME Builder is the environment used for developing this application. It can use Flatpak manifests to create a consistent building and running environment cross-distro. Thus, it is highly
recommended you use it.
1. Download [GNOME Builder ](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Builder ).

2. In Builder, click the "Clone Repository" button at the bottom, using `git@gitlab.gnome.org/BrainBlasted/loupe.git`
or `https://gitlab.gnome.org/BrainBlasted/loupe.git` as the URL.

3. Click the build button at the top once the project is loaded.
## Installation
Depending on how you want it installed instructions can differ. If you
used GNOME Builder to build it, clicking the bar at the top window will
open a submenu with "Export Bundle". This will create a flatpak bundle,
which can be installed on any system that supports flatpak.

**In order for the Loupe flatpak to be able to read the directory images are installed in, you must install a bundle.**
Once you have a bundle installed, development builds will work properly.
