# Contributing Guide

Welcome! We are glad that you are here! 💖

If you are here to contribute translations, please refer to the [Damned Lies
Module](https://l10n.gnome.org/module/bazaar/).

For code, first make sure to read the [style rules](/CODESTYLE.md).

The easiest way to run Bazaar from source is to use the
[foundry](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/foundry) cli:

```sh
foundry run
```

Alternatively, you can do:

```sh
just build-flatpak
```

Or without flatpak, if your system permits it:

```sh
meson setup build --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install
bazaar
```

You will need the following dependencies installed, along with a C compiler, meson, and ninja:
