[scqb] Installing CMake and QT

Installing CMake

CMake is opensource software. The simplest way to have CMake on your computer is to obtain the CMake installer from CMake download link. http://cmake.org/download/  Then, run the installer wizard.
For Ubuntu, modify the file permissions and run with these commands.
$ chmod a+x cmake-3.2.1-Linux-i386.sh
$ ./cmake-3.2.1-Linux-i386.sh

Installing QT

QT is opensource software has various license options including commercial, GPL, and LGPL. You can obtain the QT installer from here http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#section-2. On that page, I personally prefer choosing the offline installer.  Click the “view all download“ link to show the offline installers.


Make sure that you have downloaded the correct version and architecture of complier. For example, if you plan to build Boost by visual C++ 2013 32 bit, choose Qt 5.5.0 for Windows 32-bit (VS 2013, 695 MB).  Choose the install location as describe in ….[][][][]]


For Ubuntu, modify the file permissions and run the .run file.
$ chmod a+x qt-opensource-linux-x86-5.4.1.run
$ ./qt-opensource-linux-x86-5.4.1.run


For Ubuntu, make sure that you have OpenGL installed.
$ sudo apt-get install freeglut3
$ sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
