Installation error in elementary os 6(Unable to install goocanvas-3)

[DuttaAB-dev]

Hi! I am unable to build Akira from source as goocanvas 3 is not available in the ubuntu 20.04 repos and building it from source is not working for me as there are no clear instructions. Can anyone help me out on this?

I just installed goocanvas for compiling Akira on Odin yesterday.
https://github.com/GNOME/goocanvas/tree/goocanvas-3.0-meson.

Make sure to use the meson branch.

Run

meson build --prefix=/usr
cd build
sudo ninja install

PS Thanks to @abdallah-moh for guiding me on how to do it.

Make sure to install all packages that goocanvas will require too
