# Diodon

Aiming to be the best integrated clipboard manager for the Unity desktop.

## Installing

For Ubuntu based distributes there is an official [stable PPA](https://launchpad.net/~diodon-team/+archive/stable).

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:diodon-team/stable
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install -y diodon


To install Diodon on other systems download a release tarball from [launchpad](https://launchpad.net/diodon/+download).

## Building

Diodon uses the [Meson](https://mesonbuild.com/) build system.

    git clone https://github.com/diodon-dev/diodon.git && cd diodon
    meson builddir && cd builddir
    ninja
    ninja test
    sudo ninja install

The unity scope needs to be explicitly enabled if you want to build it

    meson configure -Denable-unity-scope=true

On distributions which do not provide packages for application-indicator
building of the indicator can be disabled by adjusting builddir creation command:

    meson builddir -Ddisable-indicator-plugin=true && cd builddir

For uninstalling type this:

    sudo ninja uninstall
