### The Qml GUI can be run directly on Linux Desktop. How?
Install requirements (debian-based distros):
Install requirements:
```
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtquick python3-pyqt5.qtmultimedia
sudo apt-get install python3-pil
sudo apt-get install qml-module-qtquick-controls2 qml-module-qtquick-layouts \
qml-module-qtquick-window2 qml-module-qtmultimedia \
libqt5multimedia5-plugins qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel
sudo apt-get install qtvirtualkeyboard-plugin
python3 -m pip install "pyqt6==6.5.2" "Pillow>=8.4"
```
Run electrum with the `-g` switch: `electrum -g qml`
Notes:
- pyqt ~6.4 would work best, as the gui has not yet been adapted to styling changes in 6.5
- However, pyqt6 as distributed on PyPI does not include a required module (PyQt6.QtQml) until 6.5
- Installing these deps from your OS package manager should also work,
except many don't distribute pyqt6 yet.
For pyqt5 on debian-based distros, this used to look like this:
```
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtquick python3-pyqt5.qtmultimedia
sudo apt-get install python3-pil
sudo apt-get install qml-module-qtquick-controls2 qml-module-qtquick-layouts \
qml-module-qtquick-window2 qml-module-qtmultimedia \
libqt5multimedia5-plugins qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel
```
### debug vs release build
If you just follow the instructions above, you will build the apk
