# Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S qt5-base qt5-declarative qt5-quickcontrols qt5-graphicaleffects
Anyone else
Install Qt directly from here http://qt-project.org/downloads . Once done export them in you path (replace "/opt/Qt5.12.x/Qt5.12.x/gcc_64/bin" with your correct folder):
export PATH=/opt/Qt5.12.x/Qt5.12.x/gcc_64/bin/:$PATH
Compile
Once you installed all dependencies (Qt is installed and in your path) you need to compile and run the application:
# Get it from GitHub
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term.git
# Build it
cd cool-retro-term
# Compile
qmake && make
# Have fun!
./cool-retro-term
