### Tray icon
**Note** that for the Flmaeshot icon to appear in your tray area, you should have a systray software installed. This is especially true for users who use minimal [window managers](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/window_manager) such as [dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org/). In some [Desktop Environment](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_environment) installations (e.g Gnome), the systray might be missing and you can install an application or plugin (e.g [Gnome shell extension](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1503/tray-icons/)) to add the systray to your setup. It has been [reported](https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/1009#issuecomment-700781081)) that icon of some softwares, including Flameshot, does not show in [gnome-shell-extension-appindicator](https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator).
Alternatively, in case you don't want to have a systray, you can always call Flameshot from the terminal. See [Usage section](#usage).
## Compilation
To build the application in your system, you'll need to install the dependencies needed for it and package names might be different for each distribution, see [Dependencies](#dependencies) below for more information. You can also install most of the Qt dependencies via [their installer](https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer). If you were developing Qt apps before, you probably already have them.
