Build from Source

This guide walks you through the steps of installing all of the SDK components from source, including the Qt libraries and tooling.

Tip

The preferred installation method is to follow this installation guide, which uses prebuilt releases.

Building from source is rarely a necessary step. This guide is provided for a) power users and b) people having trouble with the normal installation process.

Install Dependencies

You will need to install Qt5/Qt6 and some necessary build tools before you can compile the libraries.
