Installation
============
Dependencies
------------
The core of zathura depends on two external libraries,
`girara </projects/girara/>`_, our simplistic user interface library and
`GTK+ <http://www.gtk.org/>`_, a cross-platform widget toolkit.
Depending on which filetypes should be supported you are going to need
additional libraries to build those file type plugins.
