Install dependencies:

Arch Linux (pacman)

sudo pacman -S dotnet-sdk clang zlib vlc

Debian / Ubuntu (apt)

.NET isn't reliably up to date in the distro repos yet, so add Microsoft's official package feed first, then install everything:

wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/24.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-sdk-10.0 clang zlib1g-dev vlc

(For Debian instead of Ubuntu, swap the URL for https://packages.microsoft.com/config/debian/12/packages-microsoft-prod.deb, or .../13/... on Trixie.)

Fedora (dnf)

.NET and the build tools are in Fedora's own repos, but VLC isn't. It requires RPM Fusion:

sudo dnf install -y dotnet-sdk-10.0 clang zlib-devel
sudo dnf install -y https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install -y vlc

Build the application:

chmod +x scripts/publish.sh
./scripts/publish.sh linux-x64
