First, ensure you have the necessary build dependencies for your operating system:\n\n#### Fedora\n\nsh\nsudo dnf install gtk4-devel gtksourceview5-devel libadwaita-devel gobject-introspection-devel glib2-devel vte291-gtk4-devel golang\n\n\n#### Debian\n\nsh\nsudo apt install libgtk-4-dev libgtksourceview-5-dev libadwaita-1-dev libgirepository1.0-dev libglib2.0-dev-bin libvte-2.91-gtk4-dev golang-go\n\n\nAfter installing dependencies, run `go generate` to create the embedded resource file:\n\nsh\ngo generate ./...\n\n\nThen, build the application with:\n\nsh\ngo build\n\n\n## Usage and Features\n\nSeabird simplifies Kubernetes cluster management through its integrated tools. Users can interact with their clusters directly using the built-in terminal, executing `kubectl` commands without leaving the IDE. The monitoring features allow for real-time observation of logs and metrics, providing crucial insights into application performance and health. Additionally, the resource editor offers a convenient way to modify Kubernetes resources, complete with an integrated API reference to guide you through configurations.\n\n![Seabird Screenshot](https://getseabird.github.io/images/screenshot.png \"Seabird Screenshot\")\n\n## Why Use Seabird?\n\nSeabird stands out as a dedicated Kubernetes IDE for desktop users, particularly those on GNOME.
