Installation

Nixos#

Use this flake:

https://github.com/MikaShell/mika-shell/blob/main/flake.nix

There are two packages in the package: default and debug. default is built with release-fast. If you encounter problems, try using the debug package, which outputs more debugging information. However, in some cases it may run slower than the default package and consume more CPU.

Install the package you want on your system, or run it with the nix run command:

nix run github:MikaShell/mika-shell#debug daemon

Other Distributions#

Sorry, I currently don’t have the energy to package for other distributions. Below are some general manual installation steps you can follow:

1. First, download the binary from the releases page.

2. Confirm the required dynamic library dependencies:

   MikaShell uses several dependency libraries, mainly:

   libdbus libgtk4 webkitgtk6 libgtk4-layer-shell libwebp libinput libpng librsvg2

   Different distributions may have different library names, so please check accordingly.

   If the application still doesn’t work after installing the libraries above, you can use the ldd command to find missing dynamic libraries and install the corresponding packages. You can also refer to the build CI in the repository for the listed library dependencies.
