Install

• Fedora

dnf install revelation

• Flatpak

flatpak install flathub info.olasagasti.revelation

Build

Revelation depends on the following software:

• GTK3-3.22
• PyGObject
• Python 3 (currently working on Python 3.7)
• pycryptodomex
• libpwquality

Additional packages required on Ubuntu 22.04: gobject-introspection, libgirepository1.0-dev

To build revelation first cd to a suitable location and run:

git clone https://github.com/mikelolasagasti/revelation.git

Build with Meson

Navigate to the directory where revelation source has been downloaded and type these commands:

$ cd revelation
$ meson setup --prefix=$HOME/.local _build
$ meson install -C _build

Meson will build revelation in the _build directory, and install it in .local in your home directory, which is the best option for local installs in Debian or Ubuntu systems.

You can choose whatever prefix you like, like --prefix=$HOME/install, but because the installation directory may be non-standard, to run revelation you will have to define some environment variables. In this example:

$ export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/install/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
$ export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/install/lib/python3.8/site-packages

and then run revelation:

$ $HOME/.local/bin/revelation
