      <para>
        If you plan to run the tests, some timeouts are too short when
        using spinning disks. There are two places where timeouts are
        used: first, individual tests inside a group of tests have a
        default timeout of 10s. This can be changed by setting the environment
        variable <envar>TRACKER_TESTS_AWAIT_TIMEOUT</envar> to the desired
        value when running the tests (see below). Second, a global timeout
        for a group of tests is fixed at configuration time. The default value
        in the <filename class="directory">functional-tests</filename>
        directory (other directories have only short lived tests) may be
        increased with the following command (replace 200 with a value
        suitable for your machine):
      </para>

<screen remap="test"><userinput>sed -i s/120/<replaceable>200</replaceable>/ tests/functional-tests/meson.build</userinput></screen>
    </note>

    <para>
      Install <application>Tracker-miners</application> by running the following
      commands:
    </para>


<screen revision="systemd"><userinput>mkdir build &amp;&amp;
cd    build &amp;&amp;

meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dman=false .. &amp;&amp;
ninja</userinput></screen>

<screen revision="sysv"><userinput>mkdir build &amp;&amp;
cd    build &amp;&amp;

meson --prefix=/usr                 \
      --buildtype=release           \
      -Dsystemd_user_services=false \
      -Dman=false .. &amp;&amp;
ninja</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      To test the results, issue (adjust the individual test timeout to a
      value suitable for your machine, see the note above):
    </para>

<screen remap="test"><userinput>dbus-run-session env TRACKER_TESTS_AWAIT_TIMEOUT=<replaceable>20</replaceable> ninja test &amp;&amp;
rm -rf ~/tracker-tests</userinput></screen>

    <note>
      <para>
        The tests create files in the user directory (up to 24 MB), so
        they have to be removed afterwards.

      <parameter>-Dman=false</parameter>: This switch prevents the build process

      <xref linkend="asciidoc" role="nodep"/> installed and wish to generate and
      install the man pages.

      the build process from installing systemd units since they are useless

      <option>-Dseccomp=false</option>: This option disables the seccomp system
      call filter. On some architectures, such as i686 and ARM, the functions
      that tracker-miners uses are not guarded properly, and tracker-miners
      will get killed with a SIGSYS as a result.
