## Releases
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Linux
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For **x86 64bit glibc-based systems**, Mirage is available as an **AppImage**
|
||||||
|
on the [release page](releases).
|
||||||
|
For other architectures and musl-based distros, see the
|
||||||
|
[manual installation section](#manual-installation).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
AppImages are single executable files that contain the app and all
|
||||||
|
its dependencies.
|
||||||
|
Mirage images are built in Ubuntu 16.04, and should therefore run on any distro
|
||||||
|
released in 2016 or later.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To run from a terminal:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
chmod +x Mirage-x86_64.AppImage
|
||||||
|
./Mirage-x86_64.AppImage
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To run from a file manager, give executable permission in the file's
|
||||||
|
properties and double-click to launch.
|
||||||
|
[More detailed instructions](https://docs.appimage.org/introduction/quickstart.html#ref-quickstart)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Manual installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Qt 5.12+, Python 3.6+ (with development headers and pip),
|
||||||
|
PyOtherSide 1.5+ and libolm 3+ are required.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Environment variables
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To ensure Qt **5** will be used by default, compile using all CPU cores and
|
||||||
|
optimize the build for your machine:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
export QT_SELECT=5
|
||||||
|
export MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)"
|
||||||
|
export CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Package manager dependencies
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Alpine Linux 3.9+ / apk
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[PyOtherSide](#installing-pyotherside-manually) and
|
||||||
|
[libolm](#installing-libolm-manually) must be manually installed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
sudo apk add qt5-qtquickcontrols2-dev qt5-qtsvg-dev qt5-qtimageformats \
|
||||||
|
python3-dev py3-setuptools \
|
||||||
|
build-base git cmake \

|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Arch Linux / pacman & AUR
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**libolm** is from the AUR, this example uses
|
||||||
|
[yay](https://github.com/Jguer/yay) to install it like other packages.
|
||||||
|
Alternatively, you can just use `pacman` and
|
||||||
|
[install libolm manually](#installing-libolm-manually).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
yay -Syu qt5-base qt5-declarative qt5-quickcontrols2 qt5-svg \
|
||||||

|
#### Ubuntu 19.10+, Debian bullseye / apt
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

libopenjpeg2-devel libmediainfo-devel
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Installing PyOtherSide manually
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Skip this section if you already installed it from your
|
||||||
|
distro's package manager.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
git clone https://github.com/thp/pyotherside
|
||||||
|
cd pyotherside
|
||||||
|
make clean
|
||||||
|
qmake
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
sudo make install
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Installing libolm manually
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Skip this section if you already installed it from your
|
||||||
|
distro's package manager.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
git clone https://gitlab.matrix.org/matrix-org/olm/
|
||||||
|
cd olm
|
||||||
|
cmake . -Bbuild
|
||||||
|
cmake --build build
|
||||||
|
sudo make install
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Installing Mirage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After following the above sections instructions depending on your system,
|
||||||
|
clone the repository, install the python dependencies, compile and install:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
git clone --recursive https://github.com/mirukan/mirage
|
||||||
|
cd mirage
|
||||||
|
pip3 install --user -Ur requirements.txt
|
||||||
|
pip3 install --user -U uvloop==0.14.0
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
qmake mirage.pro
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
sudo make install
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`uvloop` brings performance improvements, but can be skipped
|
||||||
|
if you have trouble installing it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If everything went fine, run `mirage` to start.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Common issues
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### cffi version mismatch
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When installing the python dependencies, if you get a version mismatch error
|
||||||
|
related to `cffi`, try:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
pip3 install --user --upgrade --force-reinstall cffi
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Component is not ready
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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 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
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that the Qt lib path might be `/usr/lib/qt/` instead of `/usr/lib/qt5/`,
|
||||||
|
depending on the distro.

|
## Installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
See [INSTALL.MD](INSTALL.MD).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configuration and theming
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The config file can be found at *$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mirage/settings.json*,
|
||||||
|
or *~/.config/mirage/settings.json*.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `theme` setting can be:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The name of a built-in theme (`Midnight` or `Glass`)
|
||||||
|
- The filename without extension of a custom theme at
|
||||||
|
*$XDG_DATA_HOME/mirage/themes*, or *~/.local/share/mirage/themes*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A default theme from this repository can be copied to use as a base and edit,
|
||||||
|
for example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
cp mirage/src/themes/Midnight.qpl \
|
||||||
|
"${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/mirage/themes/MyTheme.qpl"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The config setting `theme` would need to be set to `MyTheme` in this case.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Theme files are nested-by-indentations sections of properties and values.
|
||||||
|
Properties are declared as `<type> <name>: <value>`.
|
||||||
|
Values can be any JavaScript (ECMAScript 7) expressions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most of the properties are of type `color`.
|
||||||
|
Their values, if not just refering to another property,
|
||||||
|
can be expressed with a:
|
||||||
|
- [SVG/CSS color name](https://www.december.com/html/spec/colorsvg.html)
|
||||||
|
string, e.g. `"blue"`
|
||||||
|
- hexadecimal code string, e.g. `"#fff"` or `"#cc0000"`
|
||||||
|
- RGBA value, using the `Qt.rgba(0-1, 0-1, 0-1, 0-1)` function
|
||||||
|
- HSLA value, using the `Qt.hsla(0-1, 0-1, 0-1, 0-1)` function
|
||||||
|
- HSVA value, using the `Qt.hsva(0-1, 0-1, 0-1, 0-1)` function
|
||||||
|
- [HSLUV](https://www.hsluv.org/) value, using the
|
||||||
|
`hsluv(0-360, 0-100, 0-100, 0-1)` function. This is the prefered method
|
||||||
|
used throughout the default theme files
|
||||||
|
(why? see [this](https://www.hsluv.org/comparison/#rainbow-hsluv) and
|
||||||
|
[that](https://www.boronine.com/2012/03/26/Color-Spaces-for-Human-Beings/#hsl-is-a-lemon))
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you just want to change the background picture,
|
||||||
|
or use a gradient/simple color instead, search for the `ui:` section in your
|
||||||
|
text editor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Dependencies setup
|
With `Alt+Shift+R` by default, the config and theme can be reloaded without
|
||||||
|
restarting the app.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
From your distribution's package manager, install:
|
**Warnings**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Qt 5.12+, including:
|
- API currently unstable: theme properties are often renamed, added or deleted.
|
||||||
- qt5-declarative-devel
|
- The file format for both config and themes will soon change
|
||||||
- qt5-quickcontrols2-devel
|
- The current file format currently forces all theme to have all properties
|
||||||
- qt5-svg-devel
|
defined, instead of being able to only specify the ones to override from the
|
||||||
- qt5-graphicaleffects
|
default theme.
|
||||||
- qt5-qmake
|
|
||||||
- qt5-devel
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- python3
|
GUI settings will also be implemented in the future.
|
||||||
- python3-devel
|
|
||||||
- olm-python3 >= 3.1
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Make sure that the right version of Qt is selected and compiler flags are

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
git clone https://github.com/thp/pyotherside
|
|
||||||
cd pyotherside
|
|
||||||
make clean; qmake && make && sudo make install
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After this, verify the permissions of the installed plugin files.
|
|
||||||
To ensure that they're correctly set:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install the Python 3 dependencies:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
pip3 install --user -Ur requirements.txt
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Optional dependency for performance improvements:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
pip3 install --user -U uvloop==0.13.0
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Building
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
git clone --recursive <TODO>
|
|
||||||
cd mirage
|
|
||||||
qmake mirage.pro && make && sudo make install
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After this if no errors happened, run `mirage`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you get a version mismatch error related to cffi, try:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
pip3 install --user --upgrade --force-reinstall cffi
