An online manga reading utility

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

A part of this project promotes some NSFW contents, you've been warned. Support for other manga providers has been considered, but for now only NHentai is supported.

Originally, I came up with kuchibiru (唇), which means lips in Japanese, but I intentionally dropped the kuchi (口) part, because this is hentai 🤫

In order to run, you must have gtk3 and libsoup installed, depends on your GNU/Linux distro, package names may vary. Vala compiler and meson are required to build, not to run.

# on Archlinux
sudo pacman -S --needed gtk3 libsoup vala meson

# on Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install libvala-dev valac meson libgtk-3-dev libsoup-gnome2.4-dev libjson-glib-dev

Clone this project

git clone https://github.com/l4rzy/biru.git

Go to project folder, and call meson to generate build files in a new directory (b in this case)

cd biru
meson b

Go to build folder and call ninja to build

cd b

Run with

./biru
