Avizo

Avizo is a simple notification daemon, mainly intended to be used for multimedia keys for example with Sway.

Configuration

Avizo can be configured using the configuration file and CLI options.

avizo-client looks for configuration file avizo/config.ini in the standard XDG directories XDG_CONFIG_HOME (defaults to ~/.config) and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (defaults to /etc/xdg), in that order. The first found file is used. Missing configuration file is not an error.

The configuration file must be in INI format and should define keys in section named default. Names of the configuration keys correspond to the CLI options (e.g. block-height).

Any configuration key can be overridden by corresponding CLI option (i.e. CLI options take precedence).

Install

From package repository

Avizo is available in the following repositories:

Manually

meson build
ninja -C build install

You may want to specify the installation directory (the above default to /usr/local/bin). In such case you may use

meson -Dprefix=<your/installation/path> build
ninja -C build install

In some cases (like if you want to install the results to /usr/bin), the last command needs to be run with root privileges.

Arch User Repository

A package called avizo is also available in the Arch Linux User Repository.
