If you are using a version of Meson below 0.54 you need to use diffent commands to compile and install:
```sh
meson setup build
meson setup --buildtype=release build
ninja -C build
ninja -C build install
```
When performing the `meson setup` command you may enable the `-Dportable=true` option to specify whether a portable build should be done.
When performing the `meson setup` command you may enable the `-Dportable=true` option to specify whether files should be installed as in a portable application.
If `portable` is enabled, Lite XL is built to use `data` and `user` directories placed next to the executable.
Otherwise, Lite XL will use Unix-like directory locations.
In this case, the `data` directory will be located in `$prefix/share/lite-xl`, and the `user`
directory will be `$HOME/.config/lite-xl`.
`$prefix` is determined such that `$prefix/bin` corresponds to the location of the executable.

Otherwise, Lite XL will use unix-like directory locations.
In this case, the `data` directory will be `$prefix/share/lite-xl` and the executable will be located in `$prefix/bin`.
`$prefix` is determined when the application starts as a directory such that `$prefix/bin` corresponds to the location of the executable.
The `user` directory does not depend on the `portable` option and will always be `$HOME/.config/lite-xl`.
`$HOME` is determined from the corresponding environment variable.
As a special case on Windows the variable `$USERPROFILE` will be used instead.
