+Meson® is a project to create the best possible next-generation
+build system.

+[![Build Status](https://dev.azure.com/jussi0947/jussi/_apis/build/status/mesonbuild.meson)](https://dev.azure.com/jussi0947/jussi/_build/latest?definitionId=1)

+
+#### Dependencies
+
+ - [Python](https://python.org) (version 3.7 or newer)
+ - [Ninja](https://ninja-build.org) (version 1.8.2 or newer)
+
+#### Installing from source
+
+Meson is available on [PyPi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/meson), so
+it can be installed with `pip3 install meson`.  The exact command to
+type to install with `pip` can vary between systems, be sure to use
+the Python 3 version of `pip`.
+
+If you wish you can install it locally with the standard Python command:
+
+```console
+python3 -m pip install meson
+```
+
+For builds using Ninja, Ninja can be downloaded directly from Ninja
+[GitHub release page](https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases)
+or via [PyPi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ninja)
+
+```console
+python3 -m pip install ninja
+```
+
+More on Installing Meson build can be found at the
+[getting meson page](https://mesonbuild.com/Getting-meson.html).
+
+#### Creating a standalone script
+
+Meson can be run as a [Python zip
+app](https://docs.python.org/3/library/zipapp.html). To generate the
+executable run the following command:
+
+    ./packaging/create_zipapp.py --outfile meson.pyz --interpreter '/usr/bin/env python3' <source checkout>
+
+#### Running
+
+Meson requires that you have a source directory and a build directory
+and that these two are different. In your source root must exist a
+file called `meson.build`. To generate the build system run this
+command:
+
+`meson setup <source directory> <build directory>`
+
+Depending on how you obtained Meson the command might also be called
+`meson.py` instead of plain `meson`. In the rest of this document we
+are going to use the latter form.
+
+You can omit either of the two directories, and Meson will substitute
+the current directory and autodetect what you mean. This allows you to
+do things like this:
+
+```console
+cd <source root>
+meson setup builddir
+```
+
+To compile, cd into your build directory and type `ninja`. To run unit
+tests, type `ninja test`.
+
+More on running Meson build system commands can be found at the
+[running meson page](https://mesonbuild.com/Running-Meson.html)
+or by typing `meson --help`.
