setting up carbide motion on x86_64 debian

carbide_motion_x86_64_debian.md

  • Download carbide motion for linux, unzip and untar

  • If you attempt to run the executable you'll likely get an error: qrc:/qml/main.qml:8 module "Qt.labs.settings" is not installed

  • Install Qt5 (use the online installer for linux 64 bit). You may need > 2GB of free space in /tmp to make this work.
    (Use a recovery disk with gparted if necessary to resize a partition to accommodate.)

  • sudo apt-get install qml-module-qt-labs-settings -- this will install Qt/labs/settings/

  • Qt modules are typically installed at: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml

  • Add this directory to the QML2_IMPORT_PATH env variable, eg add to .bashrc:

export QML2_IMPORT_PATH="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml"
  • Run using cli: ./CarbideMotion (the installer doesn't seem to work with debian stretch)
