Hello everyone! :)

I need to install Qt 5 globally on Ubuntu to be able to use QML libraries like Kirigami. However, the wast majority of Google search results tell how to install it locally (as a folder) from Qt's official website. How can I install Qt 5.x as a set of packages to get something functionally equivalent to Qt installation from qt.io?
I use Ubuntu 16.04.1 on my x64 PC.

Thanks in advance!

That will probably cover it:

sudo apt-get install qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls

  • I have previously installed some other Qt packages, so both ones you've mentions are already installed. However, when I try to launch a sample app ("Stickman"), it says "/home/ilya/stickman/graphicsview.h:44: error: QtWidgets/QGraphicsView: No such file or directory". Also, Qt from qt.io comes with lots of QML samples.

  • QGraphicsView is in QtWidgets, so it's not useful when working with QtQuick.

  • Oh, thanks :) I'll try working with QML and write back.

  • Compiling a sample QML-Material application produces the following error message: /home/ilya/demo/main.cpp:1: error: QGuiApplication: No such file or directory

  • It should be in /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtGui/QGuiApplication. It's in qtbase5-dev package which is installed by qtdeclarative5-dev.
