Introduction

       This  document aims to provide information about Elektra´s qt-gui feature. qt-gui offers a
       graphical interface for users of Elektra. It allows users to  create,  manage,  edit,  and
       delete keys stored in KDB.

Compiling and Installation

   Dependencies
       In  order  to  compile  and  use the new qt-gui there are a few dependencies which must be
       installed.

       •   qt5.3 or greater

       •   libdrm-dev

       •   libdiscount (libmarkdown2-dev)

       Additionally, you may need qtdeclarative5-dev which is available in wheezy-backports.

       I was able to install the correct dependencies on my system, running Kubuntu  14.10  using
       the command:
       sudo  apt-get  install  qt5-default qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-dialogs
       qml-module-qtquick-layouts qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects libdrm-dev libmarkdown2-dev

   Compiling
       Compile     Elektra     as     normal      as      per      the      COMPILE      document
       http://libelektra.org/tree/master/doc/COMPILE.md  making  sure  to include the qt-gui tool
       using the -DTOOLS flag.

       For instance: -DTOOLS=ALL or -DTOOLS=qt-gui

       Note: If you install qt5 manually, you must either: - make  sure  the  qt5  libraries  are
       included      in      LD_LIBRARY_PATH      -      OR      make     sure     to     specify
       -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/Qt5.3.0/5.3/gcc_64/lib/cmake

   Installing
       You can now install Elektra  as  you  normally  would  or  as  described  in  the  install
       documentation http://libelektra.org/tree/master/doc/INSTALL.md.

To Run

       The following command will launch the Qt-GUI:

           kdb qt-gui
