How to run the dragon cli tool for drag and dropping files.

Dependencies: GTK+ 3, X11 or Wayland

You are required to build it yourself, no binaries are available. Also development seems to have halted with v1.2.0 in 2022. These instructions are for MacOS.

The official README has great installation instructions.

To start, cd into some folder you don't mind having a bit of junk files in. eg. cd ~/Downloads

1. git clone https://github.com/mwh/dragon.git

2. cd dragon to enter the folder with the sourcecode

3. make will use the Makefile file to compile dragon binary.

   1. Dealing with dependecy issues. Dragon requries GTK+ 3. For MacOS brew install gtk+3
   2. You might need to install X or X11 window manager. Just google how to install it.

4. make install to but the dragon binary into the bin folder.

5. dragon will run dragon and print Usage: dragon [OPTIONS] FILENAME

6. dragon example will create a window with a drag-and-droppable folder from the example folder in the source code directory. (ls)
