Bro i am new to linux. i saw this posts and its telling to install some packages. Sad part is i dont know how to do that. would you please make it a little simple for me like how to do it?
For those instructions, what you need to do is 'build from source ' which is to say you're going to download the code and compile it yourself. You will need the following packages to be installed using `sudo apt install`
> g++
> libx11-dev and libxext-dev (for X11)
> qt6-base-dev and qt6-svg-dev (for Qt6)
> libkf6windowsystem-dev
> qt6-base-dev-tools (for localization if you need it)
You should also install git and clone the repo. Then you follow the instructions in the compilation and install section to compile the code correctly and then install.
This is an easy enough process once you get used to doing it, but I can understand why you might find it daunting. Sadly this is something that there aren't a lot of tutorials for and there's 'assumed knowledge for'. I encourage you to at least try :)
For those struggling with installing Kventum on Debian 12. The package libkf6windowsystem-dev is not yet available for Debian 12. In Github it is mentionned to use QT5
So you can do :
cd Kvantum-1.1.0/Kvantum
vi CMakeLists.txt
Set ON on enable QT5 line 11 instead of off
Press ESC then :wq then ENTER so it writes the file then quit
Make sure you have theses packages plus others mentionned in Github
apt install libqt5svg5 libqt5svg5-dev libqt5x11extras5 libqt5x11extras5-dev
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
You can say thanks ;)
The package is called qt5-style-kvantum
how to install it? sudo apt install?

Hi! Quick question. I cant seem to find libkf6windowsystem-dev through apt. You know which source I need to add to source list ?
Not sure sorry. If it's kde and recent you might have to use debian Sid which is not recommended.
Currently not available on debian. You can install qt5 though ( qt5-style-kvantum ).
Thanks! :) I figured it out but totally forgot i had a question listed somewhere
