Instructions for Linux

Show/Hide

• Step 1 - Install C/C++ compiler and CMake: Open the terminal and run the command below:

  • Ubuntu and Debian:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev cmake git
    

  • Fedora

    sudo dnf install gcc cmake git
    

  • openSUSE

    sudo zypper install gcc cmake git
    

• Step 2 - Install Qt Framework

  • Download and install the recommended version of Qt using their installer (select the open source license).
    • The required packages are Desktop gcc and Qt Charts.
    • Select a directory to install Qt, e.g., /opt/qt/.
    • Add Qt to the PATH and CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH variables in your ~/.bashrc file. For example, assuming you installed Qt 5.9.5 at /opt/qt/:

      echo 'export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/qt/5.9.5/gcc_64/' >> ~/.bashrc
      echo 'export PATH=/opt/qt/5.9.5/gcc_64/bin/:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
      

    • Close the terminal and open again!

Instructions for macOS

Show/Hide

• Step 1 - Install XCode:

  • Download the latest Xcode package from the Mac App Store for your system (it's free).

• Step 2 - Install CMake:

  • Download and install the latest version of CMake.
  • When installing, select the Add CMake to the system PATH for all users option.

• Step 3 - Install Qt Framework

  • Download and install the recommended version of Qt using their installer (select the open source license).
    • The required packages are macOS and Qt Charts.
    • Select a directory to install Qt, e.g., /Users/you/qt/.
    • Add Qt to the PATH and CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH variables in your ~/.bashrc file. For example, assuming you installed Qt 5.9.5 at /Users/you/qt/:

      echo 'export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/Users/you/qt/5.9.5/clang_64/' >> ~/.bashrc
      echo 'export PATH=/Users/you/qt/5.9.5/clang_64/bin/:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
      

    • Close the terminal and open again!

Instructions for Windows

Show/Hide

• Step 1 - Install Microsoft Visual Studio (MSVC):

  • We recommend MSVC 2017, but MSVC >= 2013 should be fine.
  • Download and install the Desktop development with C++ component.
  • ⇒ Any MSVC version is fine, e.g., Community, Professional or Enterprise.

• Step 2 - Install CMake:

  • Download and install the latest version of CMake, eg., cmake-3.11.3-win64-x64.msi
  • When installing, select the Add CMake to the system PATH for all users option.

• Step 3 - Install Qt Framework:

  • Download and install the recommended version of Qt using their installer (select the open source license).
  • The required packages are Qt MSVC2017 (use the same version of your MSVC) and Qt Charts
  • It's recommended that you install it at C:\Qt\
  • You should add Qt to your PATH variable as follows (assuming you installed Qt 5.9.5 at c:\Qt):

    • If you installed Qt for 64-bit:

      C:\Qt\Qt5.9.5\msvc2017_64;C:\Qt\Qt5.9.5\msvc2017_64\bin;C:\Qt\Qt5.9.5\msvc2017_64\lib;C:\Qt\Qt5.9.5\msvc2017_64\include
      

    • If you installed Qt for 32-bit:

      C:\Qt\Qt5.9.5\msvc2017;C:\Qt\Qt5.9.5\msvc2017\bin;C:\Qt\Qt5.9.5\msvc2017\lib;C:\Qt\Qt5.9.5\msvc2017\include
      

      • How to set the PATH on Windows 10 and 8:
        1. Search for Edit Environment Variables, click Environment Variables.
        2. In the section System Variables, find the PATH environment variable and select it.
        3. Click Edit. If the PATH environment variable does not exist, click New.
        4. In the Edit System Variable (or New System Variable) window, copy the value specified above.
        5. Click OK. Close all remaining windows by clicking OK.

• After installing all those dependencies, reboot the computer.
