Now, seriously: normally, if it’s an app, look for the “Releses” on the right. If there’s a binary (compiled app) to download, it will be there. If the developers are cool, they’ll include a download link directly on the Read Me file you see when you arrive at the repository.
It’s code, git clone then build. If there is a standard makefile it’s super easy. If it’s some modern age hispter trash build system you’re in for some pain.
You know, with so many frameworks with the weirdest names, I honestly don’t know if people are just joking or not…
“Yeah! just use turtle and chubby” “Oh! I prefer tuktuk and lollipop”
Funny bit: I totally made those up, then went to GitHub, and found out there are real projects called like that. Lol!
I’m from the 90s and early 2000s Windows days when most of my time was spent figuring things out and getting things to run
STILL don’t understand what I’m supposed to do with the stuff on GitHub lmao 😂
Usually just go to the “releases” section in the right, click the latest release, and download the built executable for your system from there.
I don’t think this one has an executable, but it doesn’t require compilation either. And instructions are quite simple.

Nah it’s just a python script.
Best you are going to get is a docker-compose.yml normally.
All I know about python is that blender uses it so maybe it can be placed in there
There’s actually a Dockerfile

In the 60s they was coding with holes, not words.
That was the “hard disk” XD

This is the answer for non-developer people (most people out there, actually).
not all shithub users bother with that
It’s simply a Pyhton script, you can run it directly or build a Docker image.

Meson + ninja is pretty nice. Builds a lot faster than autotools as well.

Unless the build step is going to do something super custom I shouldn’t be required to build it myself.
“Build a Docker image.” Not “build the application”.
Or, you know, don’t use the free thing.
