HOW TO INSTALL CODEQUERY IN LINUX

This INSTALL guide applies to Linux and Mac only

(For Windows, a SETUP EXE package will be provided)

HOW TO INSTALL IN LINUX?

Step 1: Install CMake (>=3.16), sqlite3, Qt5 (>=5.12) or Qt6 (>=6.4) for Qt5 or Qt6, cscope (15.8a or higher), ctags. If you have Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian or Fedora installed, most of these should be obtainable through the package managers. Note that the cscope version on the Ubuntu repositories may not be the latest one. It’s better to have the latest version of cscope installed.
CMake
sqlite3
Qt5 or Qt6
cscope for C/C++/Java
Exuberant ctags
Universal ctags
pycscope for Python
starscope for Ruby, Go and Javascript

In Ubuntu or Linux Mint or Debian, do the following first:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ git cmake ninja-build sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev cscope exuberant-ctags

In Ubuntu or Linux Mint or Debian, do the following next for Qt5:

sudo apt-get install qtcreator qtbase5-dev qt5-qmake qttools5-dev-tools qttools5-dev

In Ubuntu or Linux Mint or Debian, do the following next for Qt6:

sudo apt-get install libglx-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libvulkan-dev libxkbcommon-dev
sudo apt-get install qt6-base-dev qt6-base-dev-tools qt6-tools-dev qt6-tools-dev-tools
sudo apt-get install libqt6core5compat6-dev qt6-l10n-tools qt6-wayland

If you want to browse Python code, don’t forget to install pycscope at this point. Information on how to install this tool is available on its github page.

If you want to browse Ruby, Go or Javascript code, don’t forget to install starscope at this point. Information on how to install this tool is available on its github page.

Step 2: Download the repository as a ZIP file from github or clone git repository:
codequery@github

cd ~/myrepos
git clone https://github.com/ruben2020/codequery.git

Step 3: Unzip to a directory and change to that directory.

cd ~/myrepos/codequery

Step 4: Create a directory called build and change to it.

mkdir build
cd build

Step 5: Run cmake (first line for Qt5 OR second line for Qt6 OR third line for no GUI).
Qt5 and no GUI are the stable versions, while Qt6 is for development testing.

cmake -G Ninja -DBUILD_QT5=ON ..
cmake -G Ninja -DBUILD_QT6=ON ..
cmake -G Ninja -DNO_GUI=ON ..

Step 6: Run make and make install.

ninja
sudo ninja install

If you want to install to an alternative directory instead of the default one, use the following:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/home/johndoe/tools/" -G Ninja -DBUILD_QT5=ON ..
ninja
ninja install
