[SOLVED] Installing a theme on Ubuntu 24.04

[Redemption007]

Hi there,

Here's a mini-guide for some who may seek help in the process of installing the theme on Ubuntu 24.04 and encounter the error mentioned in the FAQ : Library import requires a version
It wasn't obvious for me (especially the dependencies part), so it may as well not be obvious for others.

1. Download, or git-clone the repo wherever you want in your system, let's say in ~/dir/
2. Install the all dependencies with:

sudo apt install sddm qml-module-qtquick-window2 qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects qml-module-qtmultimedia qml-module-qtquick2 qml-module-qtquick-controls2 qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel

(dependencies names were found thanks to #26
3. In ~/dir/, as told in FAQ, run:

chmod +x qt5.sh && ./qt5.sh

then:

chmod +x quickshell.sh && ./quickshell.sh

and type y then choose your theme (mine was Genshin, mind the name in the next step)
4. To test if everything is set, you can run:

sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/Genshin

Everything should work properly

Do not hesitate to correct me if I'm missing something 👍🏼

@Redemption007 do you have any idea about this issue #87

Sorry I'm off for two weeks without my laptop so can't really help. I'll take a look if not fixed by then 👍
