== Building and Dependencies ==
- [[https://git.enlightenment.org/core/efl.git/tree/README | EFL]]
- libexif
- libpam (Linux only)
Highly recommended to ensure proper functionality (though you can live
without these):
- connman (For network configuration support)
- bluez5 (For bluetooth configuration and control)
- bc (For the everything module calculator mode)
- pulseaudio (For proper audio device control and redirection)
- acpid (For systems with ACPI for lid events, AC/Battery plug in/out etc.)
- packagekit (For the built in system updates monitoring and updater)
- udisks2 (For removable storage mounting/unmounting)
- ddcutil (specifically libddcutil.so.2 for backlight control)
- gdb (If you want automatic backtraces on a crash in ~/.e-crashdump.txt - don't forget to build EFL and E with gdb debugging to make this useful)
**Note:** Enlightenment 0.25.0 depends on EFL **v1.26.0** or newer.
