Installing Odilia

Requirements

Odilia should run on any Unix-like platform with the required dependencies supported by Rust . Currently, we primarily target Linux, however, we plan to support other free operating systems such as *BSD in the future (patches welcome).

The following dependencies are required to build and run Odilia:

Build Dependencies

Runtime Dependenceis

  • speech-dispatcher >= 0.9 - text to speech daemon
  • at-spi2-core - accessibility infrastructure
    • Odilia doesn’t use libatspi, it interacts with AT-SPI over DBus directly, but the daemon must be running.
  • systemd - auto-launching for an AT-SPI daemon

Packages

Arch

Install the odilia AUR package. This will download and build Odilia from source. Binary packages are planned, but currently unavailable.

# Build the project:

# Optionally, install Odilia:
