# Xournal++ Linux Build

Aside from legacy releases, this is currently the way to install Xournal++. For complete building documentation refer to wiki page:
[Installation](https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/wiki/Installing).

There will be some binaries appearing in the future, so ideally you can make use of those as well.
They'll be at [Xournal++ releases](https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/releases).

Current releases are out of Date, we are searching for Maintainer for PPA etc.

With Cairo 1.16 PDF Bookmarks will be possible, but this Version is not yet
common available, therefore the Cairo PDF Export is without PDF Bookmarks.

The binary executable will be in `build/src/` subdirectory.

```bash
sudo make install
```
