## Installation

```

### Plugin managers

TODO: Add docs in the plugin managers I don't use any

### Compiling

For the native searching, you will need to compile the shard library. You can
do that by running the below command in the root of the plugin.

```sh
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -B build/Release && (cd build/Release; make -j)
```

If you are missing build dependencies, you can install them via apt.

```sh
sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config cmake
```
