This is still a WIP, node layouting is kinda jank at the moment.
Installation
A compiled binary is available on the releases page.
Building from source
To build pw-viz, you will need to have Rust installed. The recommended way to install Rust is from the official download page, using rustup.
Stable Release
Download and extract the source code to the latest release over on the releases page.
Main branch
Alternatively, you can clone the main branch, although its NOT guaranteed to be stable or bug free.
git clone https://github.com/Ax9D/pw-viz
Dependencies
You'll need a few dependencies installed on your system depending on your distro to build pw-viz.
Arch
pacman -S pipewire pkg-config clang libxcbFedora
sudo dnf install pipewire pipewire-devel clang libxcb-develOther
If you are building on another distro, you can help fill in this section by opening a pull request.
Build
Next, cd into your source folder and then start the build using:
cargo build --release
Then you can copy the resulting binary(pw-viz) which will be found inside target/release to a directory in your $PATH, like /usr/bin/
