By default, prebuilt binaries for x64 and arm64 are used.\n\nIf you want to build it from source:\n1. Install build dependencies:\n    - Debian/Ubuntu: `apt install build-essential python3 curl pkg-config libglib2.0-dev`\n    - Fedora: `dnf install @c-development @development-tools python3 curl pkgconf-pkg-config glib2-devel`\n2. Run `pnpm buildLibVesktop`\n3. From now on, building Vesktop will use your own build",
