#### Component is not ready
#### Type XYZ unavailable
If the application doesn't start when you run `mirage` and shows a
`QQmlComponent: Component is not ready` message in the terminal,
a QML component failed to import due to either missing dependencies
or a programming error.
If the application exits without showing any window and you get a terminal
message like this:
If PyOtherSide is correctly installed, you should see a similar message:
file:///.../src/gui/Window.qml:83:5: Type PythonRootBridge unavailable
then a QML component/type failed to import due to either a missing
dependency or a programming error.
If the type has `Python` in its name, ensure PyOtherSide is correctly
installed. You should see a similar message:
Got library name: "/usr/lib/qt5/qml/io/thp/pyotherside/libpyothersideplugin.so"
If not, verify the installed files and their permissions.
To ensure the correct permissions are set for the PyOtherSide plugin files:
sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/lib/qt5/qml/io
sudo chmod 644 /usr/lib/qt5/qml/io/thp/pyotherside/*
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/qt5/qml/io/thp/pyotherside/*.so
```sh
sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/lib/qt5/qml/io
sudo chmod 644 /usr/lib/qt5/qml/io/thp/pyotherside/*
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/qt5/qml/io/thp/pyotherside/*.so
```
Note that the Qt lib path might be `/usr/lib/qt/` instead of `/usr/lib/qt5/`,
depending on the distro.
