## Installing
The latest version from the main branch is available from the build artifacts.
Download bundle for:
* [x86_64](https://gitlab.gnome.org/api/v4/projects/13923/jobs/artifacts/main/raw/org.gnome.Loupe.Devel.flatpak?job=flatpak) (Average desktop or laptop PC)
* [aarch64](https://gitlab.gnome.org/api/v4/projects/13923/jobs/artifacts/main/raw/org.gnome.Loupe.Devel.flatpak?job=flatpak@aarch64) (Average phone, tablet, or Apple Silicon devices)
Bundles will not be automatically updated after installation.
## 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/Incubator/loupe.git`
or `https://gitlab.gnome.org/Incubator/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.
