Install Mutter by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: dbus-run-session ninja test. The tests require an active X session to run correctly. It is not necessary to run a separate D-bus session if not in a GNOME session, but it provides a clean environment in any case.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
