Foliate

Read books in style.

Installation

Run Time Dependencies

• gjs (>= 1.82)
• gtk4 (>= 4.12)
• libadwaita (>= 1.8; gir1.2-adw-1 in Debian-based distros)
• webkitgtk-6.0 (webkitgtk6.0 in Fedora; gir1.2-webkit-6.0 in Debian-based distros)

Optional Dependencies

To enable auto-hyphenation, you will need to install hyphenation rules, e.g., hyphen-en for English, hyphen-fr for French, etc. (which strictly speaking are optional dependencies for WebkitGTK, not Foliate itself).

For text-to-speech support, install speech-dispatcher and output modules such as espeak-ng.

If installed, tracker (>= 3; gir1.2-tracker-3.0 in Debian-based distros) and tracker-miners can be used to track the locations of files.

Obtaining the Source

The repo uses git submodules. Before running or installing, make sure you clone the whole thing with --recurse-submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate.git 

Or download the tarball (the .tar.xz file) from the Releases page.

Run without Building or Installing

It’s possible to run directly from the source tree without building or installing. Simply run

gjs -m src/main.js

This can be useful if you just want to quickly try out Foliate or test a change.

But note that this will run it without using GSettings, so settings will not be saved. To solve this, you can compile the schema by running

glib-compile-schemas data

Then you can set the schema directory when running the app:

GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=data gjs -m src/main.js

Building and Installing from Source

The following dependencies are required for building:

• meson (>= 0.59)
• pkg-config
• gettext

To install, run the following commands:

meson setup build
sudo ninja -C build install

To uninstall, run

sudo ninja -C build uninstall

Installing to a Local Directory

By default Meson installs to /usr/local. You can install without root permissions by choosing a local prefix, such as $PWD/run:

meson setup build --prefix $PWD/run
ninja -C build install

You can then run it with

GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=run/share/glib-2.0/schemas ./run/bin/foliate

Flatpak

Foliate is available on Flathub.

For developement with Flatpak, use GNOME Builder to open and run the project.

Snap

Foliate is available on the Snap Store. To install:

sudo snap install foliate
