- ffmpeg for muxing, and for encoding audio. You will need at least
version 3.1.
+ - libjpeg, for encoding the MJPEG multi-camera stream if requested.

- Working OpenGL; Movit works with almost any modern OpenGL implementation.
Nageru has been tested with Intel on Mesa (you want 11.2 or newer, due
to critical stability bugfixes), and with NVIDIA's proprietary drivers.
- LuaJIT, for driving the theme engine.
+ - Meson, for building.

- Optional: CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework), for HTML graphics.
If you build without CEF, the HTMLInput class will not be available from
the theme. You can get binary downloads of CEF from
http://opensource.spotify.com/cefbuilds/index.html
Simply download the right build for your platform (the “minimal” build
- is fine) and add CEF_DIR=<path>/cef_binary_X.XXXX.XXXX.XXXXXXXX_linux64
- on the make command line (substituting X with the real version as required).

If on Debian stretch or something similar, you can install everything you need

The patches/ directory contains a patch that helps zita-resampler performance.
It is meant for upstream, but was not in at the time Nageru was released.
It is taken to be by Steinar H. Gunderson <sesse@google.com> (ie., my ex-work
email), and under the same license as zita-resampler itself.
-To start it, just hook up your equipment, type “make” and then “./nageru”.

It is strongly recommended to have the rights to run at real-time priority;
it will make the USB3 threads do so, which will make them a lot more stable.
(A reasonable hack for testing is probably just to run it as root using sudo,
