Installation of EOG
Install EOG by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&cd build &&meson setup --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -Dlibportal=false \ .. &&ninja
This package does not come with a test suite.

Still as the root user, rebuild the cache database of MIME types handled by desktop files so Nautilus-45.2.1 will be able to open image files with EOG.
