Rust

Reskin is built with Rust and requires it to function properly. Install Rust using one of following methods. You can view more installation methods at https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install.

Install via rustup:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

Install via your distributions package manager:

Arch

sudo pacman -S rust cargo nodejs npm webkit2gtk xdg-utils \
    desktop-file-utils git

Debian

sudo apt install rustc cargo nodejs npm \
    libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev xdg-utils desktop-file-utils \
    git

Fedora

sudo dnf install rustc cargo nodejs npm \
    webkit2gtk4.1-devel xdg-utils desktop-file-utils \
    git

openSUSE

sudo zypper install rust cargo nodejs npm webkit2gtk-devel \
libappindicator-devel librsvg-devel

Gentoo

sudo emerge --ask dev-lang/rust dev-vcs/git net-libs/nodejs \
dev-libs/libappindicator app-misc/xdg-utils \
