+# Development Notes
+In order to build the Flatpak, first you need to create the 'cargo-sources.json' file, for that we'll use [this python script, from flatpak-builder-tools](https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-builder-tools/tree/master/cargo), remember that the 'toml' and 'aiohttp' python modules are needed (they can be installed with pip).
+
+Once you have that, with the python script in the root of the project, you can start with:
+```
+python3 flatpak-cargo-generator.py Cargo.lock -o cargo-sources.json
+```
+This will create the needed 'cargo-sources.json' file. 
+Then you already can build and install the Flatpak with:
+```
+flatpak-builder --user --install --force-clean build-dir dev.mariinkys.Oboete.json
+```
+You can also build the Flatpak and not install it with:
+```
+flatpak-builder --force-clean build-dir dev.mariinkys.Oboete.json
+```
+Useful resources include:
+[Flatpak Docs](https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/first-build.html). Remember that whenever the dependencies change/are updated the 'cargo-sources.json' file needs to be rebuilt.
