- `meson compile -C build` to just compile everything with configured parameters
- `rm -r build` to cleanup build files in case you want to recompile
- - `meson install -C build` to install the compiled files (you might need sudo permissions to install)
+ - `meson install -C build` to install the compiled files (you might need sudo privileges)
- `meson dist -C build` to create a tar file for distribution
+ - `ninja -C build uninstall` to uninstall a previous installation (you might need sudo privileges)
If you want to change the installation location, use the `--prefix=` parameter in the initial meson command. Also you can enable optimized release builds by adding `--buildtype=release` as parameter.
