To build Korai, please enter the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/DisableGraphics/Korai
cd Korai
meson setup builddir
cd builddir && meson install
NOTE: Versions below and including 0.2.1 use make

- The window is completely blank!
- There's an issue surrounding WebKitGTK that can be traced to a faulty MIME types database (More information here). To correct this, please open Korai and click the button named "Reload MIME types" (Under the menu button).
- Hey, a weird file named
index.html
and a folder namedtmp
have appeared!
- These two files are crucial for the operation of Korai. Don't worry, when the program is closed, they will be deleted.
- Hey, a weird file named
chapter.conf
has appeared and doesn't get deleted after closing!
- This file is where Korai saves the last chapter the user was reading. Its path can be changed using the
korai -f /path/to/save_file.conf
command
- Hey, there's no Windows version!
- WebKitGtk doesn't support Windows and so does Korai
- Why did you name the releases after heavy metal/hard rock songs?
- Why not
