+#### Install Meson
+
+```bash
+# Debian/Ubuntu
+sudo apt install meson ninja-build
+
+# Arch/Manjaro
+sudo pacman -S meson ninja
+```
+
+#### Configure & Build
+

+# 1. Configure that bih
+meson setup build_meson
+
+# 2. Build
+ninja -C build_meson
+```
+
+The binary is output to:

+#### Clean
+
+Remove the build directory to do a full clean:
+
+(CAREFUL SPONGEBOB CAREFUL)
+```bash
+rm -rf build_meson
+```
+
+Then re-run `meson setup build_meson` to reconfigure.

+# Release build
+meson setup build_release --buildtype=release
+ninja -C build_release
