How to install QtTerm on Ubuntu 24.04


 

Hi Linux Wizards
?
Trying to install QtTerm on Ubuntu 24.04 come up against a brick wall
?
Not the greatest of instructions see below
?
If you need to run on other Linux or similar systems you may be able to compile from source. Download , unzip and run qmake then make?
?
A proper set of instructions would be nice

Hello Kevin,

I found John's instructions at to be quite useful. Regardless if you are unfamiliar with linux and manual compiles it is typically not necessary to compile from source. Simply download the appropriate executable from John's repository at .

There I see x86 32bit QtTermTCP and x64 64bit QtTermTCP64 both at recent version 0.0.0.78 which should work on Ubuntu AMD / Intel based systems.

No package type install needed. Just place the binary in a subdirectory and launch it. Configuring options under the Setup tab will create and / or update the config file in the same subdirectory.

If you have reason to compile from source then there are a number of dev and other dependencies that must be installed prior to compiling.

Yes, that does assume knowledge of Qt development.

I started with a new install? of Linux Mint 22 and had to run

sudo apt install git libqt5serialport5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev
?git clone
cd QtTermTCP
qmake
make

I'll update the documentation.

I tried it without compiling (in Ubuntu 24.04). I downloaded the 64 bit version from the beta area.

wget
chmod +x QtTermTCP64

I had to install the 3 packages below, which installed other dependencies.

sudo apt install libqt5widgets5t64
sudo apt install libqt5multimedia5
sudo apt install libqt5serialport5

Then ./QtTermTCP64 started the program fine.
