## Installation of NetworkManager Applet

Install NetworkManager Applet by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    meson --prefix=/usr     \
          --sysconfdir=/etc \
          -Dselinux=false   \
          -Dteam=false      \
          -Dmobile_broadband_provider_info=false .. &&
    ninja

To test the results, issue: ninja test.

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

## Command Explanations

`-Dteam=false`: This switch disables the team configuration editor since it requires jansson-2.12. If you have Jansson installed, remove this option or set it to "true".

`-Denable-selinux=false`: This switch forcibly disables SELinux support since it is not currently in BLFS and the build will fail without it.

`-Dmobile_broadband_provider_info=false`: This switch forcibly disables Mobile Broadband Provider support because it is not currently available in BLFS.

`-Dwwan=false`: This switch disables WWAN support. Use this if you do not have ModemManager-1.10.0 installed.

`-Dintrospection=false`: Use this if you do not have gobject-introspection-1.58.3 installed.

`-Dgtk_doc=false`: Use this if you do not have GTK-Doc-1.29 installed.
