+## JPEG XL GDK Pixbuf
+
+
+The plugin may already have been installed when following the instructions from the
+[Installing section of BUILDING.md](../../BUILDING.md#installing), in which case it should
+already be in the correct place, e.g.
+
+```/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-jxl.so```
+
+Otherwise we can copy it manually:
+
+```bash
+sudo cp $your_build_directory/plugins/gdk-pixbuf/libpixbufloader-jxl.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-jxl.so
+```
+
+
+Then we need to update the cache, for example with:
+
+```bash
+sudo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache
+```
+
+In order to get thumbnails with this, first one has to add the jxl MIME type, see
+[../mime/README.md](../mime/README.md).
+
+Ensure that the thumbnailer file is installed in the correct place,
+`/usr/share/thumbnailers/jxl.thumbnailer` or `/usr/local/share/thumbnailers/jxl.thumbnailer`.
+
+The file should have been copied automatically when following the instructions
+in the [Installing section of README.md](../../README.md#installing), but
+otherwise it can be copied manually:
+
+```bash
+sudo cp plugins/gdk-pixbuf/jxl.thumbnailer /usr/local/share/thumbnailers/jxl.thumbnailer
+```
+
+Update the Mime database with
+```bash
+update-mime --local
+```
+or
+```bash
+sudo update-desktop-database
+```
+
+Then possibly delete the thumbnail cache with
+```bash
+rm -r ~/.cache/thumbnails
+```
+and restart the application displaying thumbnails, e.g. `nautilus -q` to display thumbnails.
