Install

Download the development versions for Arch Linux, Ubuntu/Debian and Windows here. The stable/master branch is available here.

For other UNIX-like platforms, and MSYS2 (for Windows):

You have to obtain the dependencies though.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Gurkengewuerz/KShare.git
cd KShare
qmake # Might be qmake-qt5 on your system
make

On systems with FFMpeg pre-3.1 you need to apply OlderSystemFix.patch to src/recording/encoders/encoder.cpp. On systems with Qt pre-5.7 you need to install the Qt version from their website. You can attempt to curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gurkengewuerz/KShare/master/install.sh | bash
