elementaryOS Clipboard Manager

Taking design inspiration from Alfred on macOS.

Getting Set Up

You'll need a few development dependencies. First up are system dependencies: gtk dev, meson, ninja and gjs.

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt-get install meson
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-wheel ninja-build
sudo apt-get install gjs libgjs-dev

Now you can think about the JS level deps:

yarn install

# Prove your setup is fine
yarn tsc
code .

Note: we are targeting gjs 1.64.5, not latest because elementaryOS uses older builds of Ubuntu and they don't have the latest gjs in apt.

Compiling

eOS apps are built by meson, I have a quick script to make a build into a tmp dir and then open it:

# Run this once, or any time you change something in the data folder:
sh ./scripts/bootstrap.sh

# Now run this:
sh ./scripts/run.sh
