## Installation of Gtk VNC

Install Gtk VNC by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. &&
    ninja

To test the results, issue: ninja test

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

## Command Explanations

`-D with-vala=disabled`: This switch disables building of the Vala bindings. Add this if you decide to build gtk-vnc without vala installed.
