## Downloading Meson
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Meson releases can be downloaded from the [GitHub release page].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Meson is also available in the [Python Package Index] and can be
|
|

## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Meson is implemented in Python 3. If your operating system provides a
|
|
|
|
|
package manager, you should install it with that. For platforms that
|
|
|
|
|
don't have a package manager, you need to download it from [Python's
|
|
|
|
|
home page].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Depending on your platform and backend you wish to use, you might need
|
|
|
|
|
the [Ninja executable]. Again, use your distro-provided version if
|
|
|
|
|
possible. Otherwise download it from Ninja project's web site.
