Installation

See https://github.com/juzzlin/Heimer/releases for available packages.

On Linux distributions that support universal Snap packages you can install Heimer like this:

$ snap install heimer

For more information see https://snapcraft.io/heimer and https://docs.snapcraft.io/core/install

Snap is the recommended way to install Heimer on Linux.

Building the project

Currently the build depends on Qt 5 only (qt5-default, qttools5-dev-tools, qttools5-dev, libqt5svg5-dev packages on Ubuntu). Support for Qt 6 is preliminary and should work with CMake.

The "official" build system for Linux is CMake although qmake project files are also provided.

Building for Linux in a nutshell:

$ mkdir build && cd build

$ cmake ..

$ make -j4

Run unit tests:

$ ctest

Install locally:

$ sudo make install

Debian package (.deb) can be created like this:

$ cpack -G DEB

See Jenkinsfile on how to build other packages in Docker.
