+   - Linux (Fedora): `sudo dnf install gtk4-devel`
+   - Linux (Arch): `sudo pacman -S gtk4`
+
+2. **Build Tools**
+   - GCC compiler (or Clang)
+   - Make utility
+   - pkg-config (usually comes with GTK installation)
+
+### Building the Application
+
+1. Clone or download this repository
+2. Navigate to the project directory
+3. Build using the provided Makefile:
