# Building Geoclue
- The following are the dependencies needed to build Geoclue2. But If Geoclue2
is already included in your distro/OS, you should be able to use the
package manager's command to install all build depedndancies.
* gio (>= 2.44.0)
* gobject-introspection
* json-glib
* libsoup3.0
* pkg-config
Fedora:
```shell
sudo dnf builddep geoclue2
```
Debian and Ubuntu:
```shell
sudo apt build-dep geoclue-2.0
```
- For a full-fledged build, you also want ModemManager (mm-glib),
avahi-client and avahi-glib. You want the latter two if you want to use the
[geoclue-share app](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/GeoclueShare). You also need
libnotify if you want to build the demo agent.
Fedora:
```shell
sudo dnf install ModemManager-devel
sudo dnf install avahi-devel
sudo dnf install avahi-glib-devel
sudo dnf install libnotify-devel
```
Debian and Ubuntu:
```shell
sudo apt install modemmanager-dev
sudo apt install libavahi-client-dev
sudo apt install libavahi-glib-dev
sudo apt install libnotify-dev
```
- [Install meson](https://mesonbuild.com/Getting-meson.html).
- Ensure you have a `geoclue` user on your system. If it already exists, you may
need to modify `/etc/passwd` file to make it a login user account by replacing
`/sbin/nologin` with `/bin/bash` (or the path to your preferred shell).
- Build and install geoclue.
```shell
meson --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir /etc -Ddbus-srv-user=geoclue build
# you may need to pass --libdir=/usr/lib64 on some systems (eg. Fedora)
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install
```
- Then you can run it as:
```shell
sudo su geoclue # Starts a new shell as `geoclue` user
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Geoclue /usr/libexec/geoclue
```
If you get the following error, make sure `geoclue` process is not already
running:
```
> Failed to acquire name 'org.freedesktop.GeoClue2' on system bus or lost it
```
- Now you can test if Geoclue is running and working:
```shell
/usr/libexec/geoclue-2.0/demos/where-am-i
```
It will give your current location.
