## Troubleshooting errors when running unit tests via IDE

When running tests from IDE, you might encounter this error:

```shell
pkg-config --cflags -- gpgme
Package gpgme was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gpgme.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gpgme' found
pkg-config: exit status 1
```

In order to resolve this you need to install [gpgme](https://github.com/proglottis/gpgme)

### Installing gpgme on Linux

You need to install `libgpgme-dev` using your Linux distribution's package installer tool (`dnf`/`apt`)

Here is an example for Fedora:
```shell
sudo dnf -y install libgpgme-dev
```

### Installing gpgme on MacOS

You need to install `gpgme` on macOS.

Here is an example using homebrew:
```shell
brew install gpgme
```
