Getting Started

If you want to use the precompiled files that comes with everything you need to click and run the app, go to Releases and download the latest release exe or flatpak.

Cmake

Make sure to have a c++ compiler installer as well, I personally used g++.

Before running these commands make sure to have the libraries for Qt6 on Windows installed.

sudo apt install qt6-base-dev

sudo dnf install qt6-qtbase-devel

sudo pacman -S qt6-base

openSUSE

sudo zypper install qt6-base-devel
