First, source files are shown in the later subsections. How to download them is written at the end of the previous section.

The following is the instruction of compilation and execution.

• You need meson and ninja.
• Set necessary environment variables. If you have installed gtk4 under the instruction in Section 2, type . env.sh to set the environment variables.
• change your current directory to src/tfe5 directory.
• type meson _build for configuration.
• type ninja -C _build for compilation. Then the application tfe is build under the _build directory.
• type _build/tfe to execute it.

Then the window appears. There are four buttons, New, Open, Save and Close.

• Click on Open button, then a FileChooserDialog appears. Choose a file in the list and click on Open button. Then the file is read and a new Notebook Page appears.
• Edit the file and click on Save button, then the text is saved to the original file.
• Click Close, then the Notebook Page disappears.
• Click Close again, then the Untitle Notebook Page disappears and at the same time the appication quits.

This is a very simple editor. It is a good practice for you to add more features.
