Oh my god. I got it to work, thank you so much! <3

git clone https://megous.com/git/megatools/
cd megatools
meson b
ninja -C b
sudo ninja -C b install

worked! :)

just one final question if you don't mind. How would I uninstall it if I
ever have to in the future?
similarly, how would I upgrade to a newer version? git pull .. and then run
the three meson/ninja commands again?

Thank you so much. You've been extremely helpful.
