Building from Source

Using CMake

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Using Make

make

Using Meson

meson setup builddir
cd builddir
meson compile

Installation

After building, install the application:

sudo make install

This will install:

• openrouter binary to /usr/bin/
• Web interface files to /usr/share/openrouter/web/

Configuration

The application uses JSON configuration files:
