# Linux
Note on Qt version compatibility: If you are installing Qt from a package manager, please ensure the version you are installing is at least **Qt 5.12 or newer**.
## Install dependencies
### Ubuntu 20.04
_Most likely works the same for other Debian-like distros_
Install all of the dependencies using `sudo apt install qttools5-dev qt5-image-formats-plugins libqt5svg5-dev libboost-dev libssl-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev cmake g++`
### Arch Linux
Install all of the dependencies using `sudo pacman -S --needed qt5-base qt5-imageformats qt5-svg qt5-tools boost rapidjson pkgconf openssl cmake`
Alternatively you can use the [chatterino2-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chatterino2-git/) package to build and install Chatterino for you.
### Fedora 28 and above
_Most likely works the same for other Red Hat-like distros. Substitute `dnf` with `yum`._
Install all of the dependencies using `sudo dnf install qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-imageformats qt5-qtsvg-devel qt5-linguist libsecret-devel openssl-devel boost-devel cmake`
### NixOS 18.09+
Enter the development environment with all of the dependencies: `nix-shell -p openssl boost qt5.full pkg-config cmake`
## Compile
### Through Qt Creator
1. Install C++ IDE Qt Creator by using `sudo apt install qtcreator`
1. Open `CMakeLists.txt` with Qt Creator and select build
## Manually
1. In the project directory, create a build directory and enter it
```sh
mkdir build
cd build
```
1. Generate build files
```sh
cmake ..
```
1. Build the project
```sh
make
```
