Hi,

i installed linux Mint on my older computer to run Spirit and i found a issue in the documentation.

On the website to help you have the Qt5 information:
Troubleshootinng
In case that the app will not start at all, please start QT5 library. In Ubuntu and Debian based system the package is called qt5-default.

You can install it also from terminal with a command: sudo apt-get install qt5-default

The qt5-default command does not work in Mint a error is returned.

I found a workaround by using another package, it seems to have installed a big package but it works and i can use your Linux version and you should change the Troubleshooting message for another version that will run.

sudo apt install qtcreator worked.

Is There anything i should do ? Spirit config software works !

Hello,

each distribution has little bit different library naming.
So different package could be needed to install in this case.

qtcreator package worked, because it carry all required libraries, but it installs some other additional that is not needed. In any case thank you for your report. No need to do anything else.

We will update our Wiki pages for Spirit Settings under Linux.
