# PipeWire Media Session

PipeWire Media Session is an example session manager for
[PipeWire](https://pipewire.org).

## Building and installation

The preferred way to install PipeWire Media Session is to install it with your
distribution package system. This ensures PipeWire Media Session is integrated
into the rest of your system for the best experience.
