## Installation

You can obtain installation packages from

[downloads](https://bitbucket.org/hyOzd/serialplot/downloads). As of

moment there are only Debian and Windows 64 bits packages.

## Dependencies

- Qt 5, including SerialPort module

- Qwt 6.1

## Building

### Obtain Dependencies

- Qt5 development packages

- Qt5 SerialPort module

- CMake

- Mercurial

Under Ubuntu/Debian:

```sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev libqt5serialport5-dev cmake mercurial```

### Download and Install Qwt

[Qwt](http://qwt.sourceforge.net) is the library that provides

plotting widgets for SerialPlot. If your distribution doesn't provide

a Qwt 6 package (the Qt5 version, usually named `libqwt6-qt5`) you

will need to download and build Qwt with Qt5 yourself.

Download Qwt 6 from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qwt/files/

Follow these instructions to build and install:

http://qwt.sourceforge.net/qwtinstall.html#qwtinstall-unix

Make sure that you have built the Qwt with Qt 5 not Qt 4.

### Download and Build SerialPlot

You can use Mercurial to download SerialPlot source code. Or you can

download it from here:

https://bitbucket.org/hyOzd/serialplot/downloads

    hg clone https://hyOzd@bitbucket.org/hyOzd/serialplot

    cd serialplot

    mkdir build && cd build

    cmake ..

    make
