Uh … no, I don't have the energy or the desire to deal with such a complicated installation when there are alternatives that are easy to install.

Comments and Reviews
The vim keybindings feature is the best to have in a lightweight PDF viewer, although overusing it may cause it to crash
«To build and install zathura using meson's ninja backend: meson build, cd build, ninja, ninja install.»
Uh … no, I don't have the energy or the desire to deal with such a complicated installation when there are alternatives that are easy to install.
Minimal. No toolbars, just the document. Keyboard-driven. Vim-like shortcuts. Refreshes the document when the file changes (great for generating PDFs with LaTeX in a simple text editor).
Simple PDF viewer with vi keybindings.
Superb keyboard shortcuts, really fast (especially with mupdf backend)
