Summary
qtwebengine5-dev/optinstallationsDetails
UBUNTU.mdrecords the dependency and build findings from building the currentmasterbranch. It covers submodule initialization, the CMake-based release build, streaming-server setup performed by the Makefile, system-wide installation under/opt/stremio, and optional desktop registration.The new
desktop_integration.shscript creates or removes a user desktop entry belowXDG_DATA_HOME/applications(or~/.local/share/applications). It defaults tobuild/stremioand acceptsSTREMIO_EXECUTABLE=/opt/stremio/stremiofor a system-wide installation.Validation
