Added installation instructions for Fedora - #22
Conversation
|
Thank you for your contribution. However, I have packaged the dependencies in my copr since a few months ago already, and as of yesterday, the editor itself as well. What do you think about including instructions on how to use those instead? |

These links should stay here. If we want to avoid repeating them they should be removed from the fedora specific parts.
| git clone https://github.com/istoph/editor | ||
| cd editor | ||
| meson setup _build | ||
| PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/opt/tuiwidgets-prefix/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig meson setup _build -Dprefix=$HOME/opt/tuiwidgets-prefix -Dsyntax_highlighting=true |

While these paths match the build / install example from tuiwidgets, i don't think we should assume here that the user has followed these instructions. So these paths come somewhat out of the blue here. Setting prefix to tuiwidgets-prefix doesn't seem like the best suggestion (it's ok to do that when one understands the tradeoffs but it is not what i would recommend for someone just copy and pasting).
Maybe this whole change should instead be a sentence explaining that setting these parameters is needed in certain situations.

| Fedora do not have packages for [Tui Widgets](https://tuiwidgets.namepad.de/) and [Termpaint](https://termpaint.namepad.de/) so you have to install them from sources. |

I hope this is going to be outdated soon.
Maybe this would be better phrased as a condition ("if your distribution does not have ... in a recent enough version ..." style).
I think building from source is likely a use case too, but using the copr repo is a nice additional option that we could mention. |

Great that you have done the work to describe this for Fedora as well.

just like Debian, please only list the packages not how it can be installed.
In my test ci (Fedora33 - 38) I install the following:
dnf -y groupinstall "Development Tools" && \
dnf -y install git devscripts ninja-build pkgconfig qt5-qtbase-devel which python-setuptools python3-testresources chrpath
I assume that qt5-linguist is not needed?
