Getting Started

Prerequisites:

• Open-Source GPL Licensed Qt 6.8 Developer Tools (from here)
• C++, CMake, Git

You can either build from the command line (an example path to pass into cmake could be: cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/Qt/6.8.1/macos):

git clone https://github.com/erakai/Mercury
git submodule update --init --recursive
./format.sh
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=your qt installation
make
./mercury

Or, you can open QtCreator, and load this project by selecting "Open File or Project" and selecting the top-level CMakeLists.txt file. Then, go to Build -> Run. You need to do this to edit ui files.
