Hi I have QtInstalled with the official qt installer (I haven't used the package with the name "qtcreator").
I need to run QtCreator from terminal but I can't locate the executable.
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.
Probably you can find the executable in opt directory the location will be as this /opt/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin and you can run it through terminal as ./qtcreator
Latest QtCreator should by default be installed in
${HOME}/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/
And you have two start-up options, the executable qtcreator or the shell script qtcreator.sh
To run the executable, type
~/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator
To run the shell script, type
~/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator.sh
Whic one to use: From the top portion of qtcreator.sh, it states that if you have library name conflicts (such as having same library names used by qtcreator with your own LD_LIBRARY_PATH), you may want to start with the shell script, rather than the bare executable.
Windows linux subsystem users
In case you have ubuntu as a subsystem for win10, it's located in your AppData folder (installing with sudo apt install command):
Also, you cannot run qtcreator from terminal as graphical interface is not supported by defeault. You need to instal X-server app first (https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/) and then you can run QT from terminal.
C:\Users\[YOUR_USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\usr\share\qtcreator
Or, it's in usr/lintian/overrides
But you should not modify anything inside this linux root, as it may lead to data loss.
For me it wasn't in the /opt directory, but rather the location I've chosen in the /home/user/ directory.
More specifically: /home/user/Qt5.12.1/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator

I hope that I'm tagging/asking on the correct page. I'm Using Linux Mint 6.0, but it could be OS independent.
So the used command for installing Firefox was
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.firefox-esr
When I type which firefox, I get:
/home/foo/.nix-profile/bin/firefox
So Linux Mint comes with Chrome preinstalled, which has a launcher, e.g. also in the start menu. How do I get that for firefox as well? I didn't find a tool to create such a launcher in Mint and I actually think, that nix should do that for me.
EDIT: I also found this page which seemed helpful and advertised e.g. the KDE Kickoff, but I wasn't able to get that one to run.
I can only speak for Ubuntu launchers, but other distros will have launcher files that will have a similar setup
TLDR, add ~/.nix-profile/share to XDG_DATA_DIRS env variable on login. Add the following to ~/.profile after nix loading commands
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/.nix-profile/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
Explanation:
Installed packages via nix will have an immutable path in nix/store. ~/.nix-profile/bin/firefox is the derivation your current nix environment is linked to (if you update the firefox package, it'll point to the new one)
This means you can create a launcher file for that executable. Lets see if the firefox-esr derivation comes with a desktop launcher or not:
$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A firefox-esr
This will build the package and give you a derivation path. For my current channel it is /nix/store/3iipcmiykgr4p34fg3rkicdz1bw584gm-firefox-102.2.0esr
If I check inside it, there is a .desktop file which defines Ubuntu launchers:
$ ls /nix/store/3iipcmiykgr4p34fg3rkicdz1bw584gm-firefox-102.2.0esr/share/applications
firefox.desktop
These files will also be available under ~/.nix-profile/share/applications so you can simply add that to XDG_DATA_DIRS env variable before boot
If an application did not have one, you can manually make one and add it under ~/.local/share/applications, then set the executable path to the nix one
So SuperSandro2000 explained in the comments, that firefox from nix ships with a .desktop file already. This can be easily added to the start menu and lies in
/nix/store/...-firefox-XXX.X/share/applications/firefox.desktop
If there is no such file included, the most direct way could be (imho) to just create a simple bash script:
#!/bin/bash
./home/foo/.nix-profile/bin/firefox & #Run Firefox
echo Firefox was started with PID $!
In order to make it runnable, enter chmod +x your_skript_name.sh. Afterwards, ./firefox 2> /dev/null & can be used instead to run it silently in the background.
You can also consider the developer/command line options for firefox (Archive) or this blog article here.
Maybe /usr/bin/menulibre is also the right application, it allows you to create .desktop files. This app can also be found by right-clicking on the start "menu".
I try to run a deployment script using KDE Neon. I have started the script manually from bash and I got an error qmake would be not found.
When trying to run qmake directly from the bash I get the following error:
$ qmake -v
qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory
That bin folder is almost empty and contains no qmake. In the path /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/ a full Qt installation can be found but no qmake as well. /usr/bin/qmake obviously is a link that is pointing to the missing /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake.
qmake works fine when using Qt Creator. The binary used by Qt Creator is /home/<user>/Qt/5.10.0/gcc_64/bin/qmake.
Obviously the /usr/... Qt installations aren't complete. First I thought about how to complete the installations and how to switch from Qt4 to Qt5. However Qt Creator obviously is able to use its own /home/... located Qt environment anyway and I would like to use it too when running a script outside Qt Creator.
Is there a way I can start scripts from bash using the same Qt environment as Qt Creator (without modifying the OS configuration)?
QtCreator itself only modifies the environemt, i.e. it sets
export PATH="/home/<user>/Qt/5.10.0/gcc_64/bin:$PATH"
export QTDIR="/home/<user>/Qt/5.10.0/gcc_64"
This can be verified by checking the "Build Environment" section in the "Projects" tab. When checking the environment for the run configuration there is one more that is needed for the compiled applications to find the correct .so files (The build env. is used to run build tools. The run env. is used to run the compiled application).
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/<user>/Qt/5.10.0/gcc_64/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
So in order to easily use qmake/... from the command line, just create a script that sets these (and possibly others you defined for your build in QtCreator) and source it before compiling and it should work.
source ~/qt-home-init.sh
qmake ...
I'm new to Linux and i use Kali Linux. I downloaded the eclipse ide. Every time, when i need to run it, i should navigate to eclipse folder and run the eclipse file. there are other softwares like pycharm have the same issue.
If there's any method to run these programs just typing "eclipse" or "pycharm" on terminal (like firefox, atom) it's very helpful. If anyone know how to do it please let me know. I already searched a solution for this problem and i couldn't find any solution.
-Thanks (sorry for my English)
Modify your ~/.bashrc and add the PATH of your application(you use PATH rather then CONFIG_PATH)
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to_directory_containing_program
export CONFIG_PATH=/my_path_to_PROGRAM/PROGRAM/config/
Another solution is Create a shorcut in your desktop
Go to cd /usr/local/bin (or cd /usr/bin) and do:
sudo ln -s /path/to/eclipse where eclipse is the binary that you are used to launch.
/usr/local/bin and /usr/bin directories should already be in your PATH, so you don't need to modify ~/.bashrc.
I have used Nix package manager to install Abiword in a Slackware/Salix install with Mate desktop. The application runs fine but it has not appeared in the main Menu. Is this usual for applications installed by Nix?
I got this working on openSUSE plasma-desktop by adding the following to my bashrc
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=~/.local/share/:~/.nix-profile/share:/usr/share
cp -f ~/.nix-profile/share/applications/*.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
Then logging out or running kbuildsycoca4 rebuilds the start menu.
When I only set the XDG_DATA_DIRS, the icons would appear in the start menu. However kdelibs is trying to make those .desktop files executable and add a xdg-open shebang to them, which does not work since .nix-profile is not writeable.
Thus it was also necessary to copy the desktop files to a ~/.local/share/applications/, which however also needs the XDG_DATA_DIRS set to ~/.nix-profile, because the application icons still reside there.
Hi I am working in matlab linux. I want to convert my .m files to .exe or some executable file so that I can run it in another linux machine.I tried doing
mcc -m filename.m -o newfile
But it creates run_newfile.sh and newfile.o files. How do I sonvert this .sh file to .exe or how can I run this .sh file in other machine. please help
solved:
I solved the problem . I used
mcc -mv filename.m
command which creates a executable file and the I can run the executable file which has same name with the .m file as
./filename
in the shell . And also we need to check if the MCR is installed or not. if not we need to install the MCR. thanks for your reply.
You can run the created files on other linux machines by sh run_newfile.sh. You cannot create exe-files for windows machines on linux machines. For creating windows-executable Exe-Files you have to use a windows machine.
If you want to use MATLAB Compiler to produce Windows executables (.exe files), you must run it on a Windows machine. If you run it on a Linux machine it will produce outputs suitable for Linux, as you're seeing.
Your MATLAB license is cross-platform and you may install it multiple times, so you can install it on Windows as well as Linux (so long as you don't use more than two of the multiple installations simultaneously).
If you don't have the install files for Windows, than so long as your license is in maintenance you can download them by logging in to your MathWorks account.
