Re: [Jgeneral] Installation on Linux
Using install-usr.sh to move to home folder is overkill. You can just use mv command or mouse click/drag to do it.

[Jgeneral] Installation on Linux
Hi! I can see where Adrien Matthieu is coming from. Installation on linux is not yet as straightforward as other platforms (Windows, Mac and Android). I want to install the program in my home directory so that is not a problem but getting Jqt.sh to run required installing libqt5webenginewidgets5, libqt5multimediawidgets5 and libqt5websockets5 on Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS). I believe the relevant code would be: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libqt5webenginewidgets5 libqt5multimediawidgets5 libqt5websockets5 but I preferred to use Synaptic, so this will need checking! Would it be worth adding this or something similar to the updatejqt.sh script? I considered modifying the install-usr.sh script by replacing /usr with /home/mark but when using a local folder, it was not clear how the items copied into the /etc folder would be used so I decided against it, without further advice/research. Could this script be adapted so that one can specify the prefix of the install location? One final matter, when running jqt.sh, the following warning was reported: Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway. Since this is warning, it's not an issue and no-doubt X users would want the old code but would it be worth making the relevant call sensitive to its environment?
