Linux

The easiest way to install qGo on Linux is to get the binary packages from the qGo webpage. Depending on your distribution, that are the rpm or deb packages.

  • To install the rpm, login as root and type: rpm -i qgo-(version)-1.i386.rpm

  • On a Debian system, you would do: dpkg -i qgo_(version)-1_i386.deb

If you got the sources package, unpack it with the command tar xzf qgo-(version).tar.gz and cd into the created directory qgo-(version).

Type

  • ./configure

  • make

  • make install (You must be root to do this.)

Windows

Installing qGo on Windows is easy.

Download the windows installation package from the qGo webpage: qgo-(version)-win.exe.

Simple double-click on this executable file and the normal windows installation process will start, dialogs will guide you through the installation. qGo will by default be installed in the directory C:\Program Files\qGo\.

To run qGo, select the link from the start menu.

Tip

If you already have qGo installed on your computer, you can download the smaller update package: qgo-(version)-winupdate.exe.

This file is much smaller, as it does not contain the qt library. You can simply install this package over an existing qGo installation, just make sure you choose the same installation directory. The qt library file will stay.

This update package is provided to save people with a slow internet connection some download time.

If you want to compile qGo on Windows yourself, get the tmake package from the download page. For further information please refer to the Qt and tmake documentation. You need to have the non-commercial Qt package and Visual Studio installed on your system.
