## How to build

**Warning**: building Shotcut should only be reserved to beta testers or contributors who know what they are doing.

### Qt Creator

The fastest way to build and try Shotcut development version is through [Qt Creator](https://www.qt.io/download#qt-creator).

To make this easier, we provide [SDKs](https://shotcut.org/notes/) on the web site with each release that includes
Shotcut and all of its dependencies. These SDK pages also include setup instructions and tips on how to compile
MLT and other dependencies after updating.

### From command line

First, check dependencies are satisfied and various paths are correctly set to find different libraries and include files (Qt 5, MLT, frei0r and so forth).

#### Configure

In a new directory in which to make the build (separate from the source):

```
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/ /path/to/shotcut
```

We recommend using the Ninja generator by adding `-GNinja` to the above command line.

#### Build

```
cmake --build .
```

#### Install

If you do not install, Shotcut may fail when you run it because it cannot locate its QML
files that it reads at run-time.

```
cmake --install .
```
