Installation
Instructions and releases are currently only available for Linux,
but compiling on Windows and macOS should be possible with the right tools.
Releases
Linux
For x86 64bit glibc-based systems, Mirage is available as an AppImage
on the release page.
For other architectures and musl-based distros, see the
manual installation section.
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:
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
Manual Installation
Qt 5.12+, Python 3.6+ (with pip to install packages from the
requirements.txt), PyOtherSide 1.5+ and
libolm 3+ are required.
The equivalent -dev or -devel packages are needed, if your distro
splits development headers into their own packages.
For the Pillow Python package, these dependencies are recommended to support
all common image formats:
- libjpeg-turbo
- zlib
- libtiff
- libwebp
- openjpeg2
libmediainfo is also required for the pymediainfo package.
Environment Variables
To ensure Qt 5 will be used by default, compile using all CPU cores and
optimize the build for your machine:
export QT_SELECT=5
export MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)"
export CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"
Package Manager Dependencies
Alpine Linux 3.9+ / apk
PyOtherSide and
libolm must be manually installed.
sudo apk add qt5-qtquickcontrols2-dev qt5-qtsvg-dev qt5-qtimageformats \
python3-dev py3-setuptools \
build-base git cmake \
libjpeg-turbo-dev zlib-dev tiff-dev libwebp-dev openjpeg-dev \
libmediainfo-dev
export PATH="/usr/lib/qt5/bin:$PATH"
Arch Linux / pacman & AUR
libolm is from the AUR, this example uses
yay to install it like other packages.
Alternatively, you can just use pacman and
install libolm manually.
yay -Syu qt5-base qt5-declarative qt5-quickcontrols2 qt5-svg \
qt5-graphicaleffects qt5-imageformats \
python python-pip \
python-pyotherside \
libolm \
base-devel git cmake \
libjpeg-turbo zlib libtiff libwebp openjpeg2 libmediainfo
Fedora 30+ / dnf
PyOtherSide and
libolm must be manually installed.
sudo dnf groupinstall 'Development Tools'
sudo dnf install qt5-devel qt5-qtbase qt5-qtdeclarative qt5-qtquickcontrols2 \
qt5-qtsvg qt5-qtgraphicaleffects qt5-qtimageformats \
python3-devel python3-pip \
git cmake \
libjpeg-turbo-devel zlib-devel libtiff-devel libwebp-devel \
openjpeg2-devel libmediainfo-devel
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/qmake-qt5 /usr/bin/qmake
Gentoo / emerge
libolm must be manually installed.
You might need to prepend the emerge command with USE=bindist,
if emerge says so.
sudo emerge -av qtcore qtdeclarative qtquickcontrols2 \
qtsvg qtgraphicaleffects qtimageformats \
dev-python/pip pyotherside \
dev-vcs/git cmake \
libjpeg-turbo zlib tiff libwebp openjpeg libmediainfo
Ubuntu 19.04 / apt
libolm must be manually installed.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install qt5-default qt5-qmake qt5-image-formats-plugins \
qml-module-qtquick2 qml-module-qtquick-window2 \
qml-module-qtquick-layouts qml-module-qtquick-dialogs \
qml-module-qt-labs-platform \
qtdeclarative5-dev \
qtquickcontrols2-5-dev \
python3-dev python3-pip \
qml-module:io-thp-pyotherside \
build-essential git cmake \
libjpeg-turbo8-dev zlib1g-dev libtiff5-dev libwebp-dev \
libopenjp2-7-dev libmediainfo-dev
Ubuntu 19.10+, Debian bullseye / apt
Follow the steps for Ubuntu 19.04, but instead of
installing libolm manually:
sudo apt install libolm-dev
Void Linux / xbps
PyOtherSide must be manually installed.
sudo xbps-install -Su qt5-devel qt5-declarative-devel \
qt5-quickcontrols2-devel \
qt5-svg-devel qt5-graphicaleffects qt5-imageformats \
python3-devel python3-pip \
olm-devel \
base-devel git cmake \
libjpeg-turbo-devel zlib-devel tiff-devel libwebp-devel \
libopenjpeg2-devel libmediainfo-devel
Installing PyOtherSide Manually
Skip this section if you already installed it from your
distro's package manager.
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.
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:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/mirukana/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:
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.
