Installing_GStreamer_Spotify_plugin

[strawbeson]

Good day,

on the Wikipost for Installing_GStreamer_Spotify_Plugin it says to use meson and ninja, but doesn't state them as prerequisits for compiling (that's a guess, I have no idea, what either of these is or does) the plugin.
The only other mention of meson is on the compilation for macOS with brew.

I whould have loved an introduction into these tools or at least some links on where to get them and what they are.
That whould be really helpful in getting the plugin.

Thank you.

PS. I just found this repository which does have everything you need to get it running and compiled: https://github.com/kingosticks/gst-plugins-rs-build
