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
